AndroidIDE Version 2.6.0-beta Changelog

This minor release fixes bugs while adding some necessary features and improvements.

Thanks to all the people who have contributed to this release (including our Crowdin translators).

Important Note

Additions

  • You can now select the build variant for each Android module in the project (#223).
  • Multiple application modules (com.android.application) in a project are now supported.
  • Support for static span colors has been added, allowing previewing the HEX colors in XML/Java/Kotlin files. If you have created a custom color scheme, you need to update your scheme according to this commit (see the language scheme files) in order to enable this feature.
  • Android Gradle Plugin v8.2.x is now supported.
  • New actions:
    • Disconnect logsenders: Disconnects from all connected log senders at once.
    • Long select (editor text action): Allows selecting long text efficiently without using the selection handle.
    • Launch app: Launches the already installed application.
  • New preferences:
    • Preference to choose AndroidIDE's theme (requires restart if changed) :
      • Blue wave - new default theme
      • Sunny glow - the previous (yellowish) theme
      • Material You
    • Preference to choose language for AndroidIDE. Per-app language support has been added for Android 13+ devices.
    • Preference to enable/disable sticky scroll in the editor (disabled by default).
    • Preference to automatically launch application after build & install (disabled by default).
    • Preference to enable/disable line number pinning in editor (enabled by default).
    • Preferences to enable/disable log receiver service (enabled by default).
