" summary

Shows concrete Android Studio features: Layout Editor gets blueprint mode, design-time sample data for RecyclerView items, drag-to-target constraints for overlapping views, multi-select constraint creation, and a redesigned Attributes panel with Declared Attributes and a resource picker for margins. Navigation Editor creates NavHostFragment graphs, actions and type-safe arguments and generates the small navigate call. Resource Manager imports messy designer folders, groups variants, previews layouts and imports SVGs and converts them to VectorDrawable. Android Q adds Skia Picture capture, render-node IDs, a 3D live-mirroring Layout Inspector and fast property inspection via generated InspectableProperty companions and resource-origin APIs.
