In addition, Android Studio 4.0 now includes live templates for Kotlin classes. This means that you can now include standard language APIs, available only in the latest versions of Android (such as ), in applications that support older versions of Android.Īnother feature that stands out is that text editor supports syntax highlighting, code completion, and error checking for Proguard Rules files. In Android Studio 4.0, the desugaring engine has been extended to allow uninstallation of the Java language APIs. Through a process called desugaring, the DEX D8 compiler in Android Studio 3.0 and later already provided substantial support for Java 8 language features (such as lambda expressions, default interface methods, resources, etc.). In addition to Compose, Android Studio 4.0 now supports the use of multiple Java 8 APIs without the need for a minimum level of API for your application. As a result, it should take less effort to write code that works with many smartphone cameras. Jetpack now too includes support for CameraX, It works with the camera software of many Android smartphones.
