Beta 2 includes enhancements around camera and media,
privacy and security, system UI, and developer productivity.
We're also continuing to improve the large screen device
experience.

We first announced Android Studio at I/O 2013,
with a promise to deliver a best-in-class IDE for Android
developers.
10 years later, this commitment still
drives us to deliver new tools and solutions that help teams
create amazing app experiences.
And with Google's push to unlock the power of AI,
