      alt=""/>Android Studio v1.5.0</a> <em>(November 2015)</em>
  </p>
  <div class="toggle-content-toggleme">
    <p>Fixes and enhancements:</p>
    <ul>
    <li>Added new Memory Monitor analysis abilities to Android Monitor. When you view an HPROF file
      captured from this monitor, the display is now more helpful so you can more quickly locate
      problems, such as memory leaks. To use this monitor, click <strong>Android Monitor</strong> at
      the bottom of the main window. In Android Monitor, click the <strong>Memory</strong> tab. While
      the monitor is running, click the <strong>Dump Java Heap</strong> icon, and then click
      <strong>Captures</strong> in the main window and double-click the file to view it. Click
      <em>Capture Analysis</em> on the right. (The
      Android Device Monitor can't be running at the same time as Android Monitor.)</li>
    <li>Added new deep link and app link support. The Code Editor can automatically create an
      intent filter for deep linking in the <code>AndroidManifest.xml</code> file. It can also
      generate code to help you integrate with the
      <a href="http://developers.google.com/app-indexing/android/publish" class="external-link">App Indexing API</a>
      in an activity in a Java file. A deep link testing feature
      helps you verify that a specified deep link can launch an app. In the <strong>General</strong>
      tab of the <em>Run/Debug Configurations</em> dialog, you can specify deep link launch
      options. You can also test App Indexing API calls in an activity by using the Android Monitor
      <strong>logcat</strong> display. The Android <code>lint</code> tool now has warnings for
      certain issues involving deep links and the App Indexing API.
    </li>
     <li>Added the ability to use short names when code-completing custom views in the Code Editor.
    </li>
    <li>Added support for more {@link android.graphics.drawable.VectorDrawable} elements to
      <a href="{@docRoot}tools/help/vector-asset-studio.html">Vector Asset Studio</a>
      for backward-compatibility. Vector Asset Studio can use these elements to convert vector
      drawables into PNG raster images to use with Android 4.4 (API level 20) and lower.
    </li>
    <li>Added new <code>lint</code> checks for Android TV and Android Auto to give you
      immediate, actionable feedback in Android Studio, along with several quick fixes. For example,
      for Android TV, it can report and provide a quick fix for permissions, unsupported hardware,
      <code>uses-feature</code> element, and missing banner issues. For Android Auto, it can
      validate the correct usage in the descriptor file referred from your
      <code>AndroidManifest.xml</code> file, report if there isn't an intent filter for the
      <code>MediaBrowserService</code> class, and identify certain voice actions issues.
      </li>
    <li>Added new <code>lint</code> checks for insecure broadcast receivers,
    <code>SSLCertificateSocketFactory</code> and <code>HostnameVerifier</code> class uses, and
    <code>File.setReadable()</code> and <code>File.setWritable()</code> calls. It also detects
    invalid manifest resource lookups, especially for resources that vary by configuration.
    </li>
    <li>Fixed a number of stability issues.
    </li>
  </ul>

  </p>

  <div class="toggle-content-toggleme">
  <ul>
    <li>Merged in the latest IntelliJ codebase changes. Includes fixes for issues reported by Studio users such as tweaks to Linux font sizes and font rendering.</li>
    <li>Android Gradle plug-in updated to 0.5.0.
      <p class="caution"><strong>Caution:</strong> This new version is not backwards compatible.
      When opening a project that uses an older version of the plug-in, Studio will show an error
      stating <strong>Gradle &lt;project_name&gt; project refresh failed.</strong></p>
      <p>The updated Gradle plug-in includes the following changes:</p>
      <ul>
        <li>Fixed IDE model to contain the output file even if it's customized through the DSL. Also
        fixed the DSL to get/set the output file on the variant object so that it's not necessary to
        use <code>variant.packageApplication or variant.zipAlign</code></li>
        <li>Fixed dependency resolution so that we resolved the combination of (default config,
        build types, flavor(s)) together instead of separately.</li>
        <li>Fixed dependency for tests of library project to properly include all the dependencies
        of the library itself.</li>
        <li>Fixed case where two dependencies have the same leaf name.</li>
        <li>Fixed issue where Proguard rules file cannot be applied on flavors.</li>
      </ul>
      <p>All Gradle plugin release notes are available are here: <a href=
      "http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system"
      >http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system</a>.</p>
    </li>
    <li>Gradle errors from aapt no longer point to merged output files in the build/ folder, they
    point back to the real source locations.</li>
    <li>Parallel Builds. It's now possible to use Gradle's parallel builds. Please be aware that
    parallel builds are in "incubation" (see <a
    href="http://www.gradle.org/docs/current/userguide/gradle_command_line.html">Gradle's
    documentation</a>.) This feature is off by default. To enable it, go to
    <strong>Preferences</strong> &gt; <strong>Compiler</strong> and check the box <em>Compile
    independent modules in parallel</em>.</li>
    <li>Further work on the new resource repository used for layout rendering, resource
    folding in the editor, and more:
      <ul>
      <li>Basic support for .aar library dependencies (e.g. using a library without a local copy of
      the sources). Still not working for resource XML validation and navigation in source editors.
      </li>
      <li>Cycle detection in resource references.</li>
      <li>Quick Documentation (F1), which can show all translations of the string under the caret,
      will now also show all resource overlays from the various Gradle flavors and build types, as
      well as libraries. They are listed in reverse resource overlay order, with strikethrough on
      the versions of the string that are masked.</li>
      <li>Fixes to handle updating the merged resources when the set of module dependencies
      change.</li>
      <li>XML rendering fixes to properly handle character entity declarations and XML and unicode
      escapes.</li>
      </ul>
    <li>Save screenshot support for the layout preview and layout editor windows.</li>
    <li>Template bug fixes.</li>
    <li>Lint bug fixes.</li>
    <li>Various fixes for crash reports. Thank you, and keep filing crash reports!</li>
