Android Studio 4.1 made it onto the stable waterworks last month, bringing a number of useful new features for Android developers. There are some interesting inclusions this time around, so read on to see what you need to know!
Embedded emulator
One of the most interesting updates comes to the Android emulator, which is now built right into the IDE itself. In other words, the emulator no longer opens as a separate app but rather in a tool window. This is said to “save screen real-estate” for all us peasants working on sub 4K, 42” monitors.
