I can't find the following setting:
Build, Execution, Deployment -> Compiler -> Annotation Processors ->
Enable annotation processing.
It seems that it has changed in android studio arctic fox 2020.3.1 patch 3

How do I work out what version of IntelliJ a particular version of Android Studio is based on? I had a look in the "About Android Studio" window and all I see is the following information:
The first three groups of numbers of the Android Studio build are the version of the IntelliJ Platform build that the Android Studio build is based on: 213.7172.25. The first two digits indicate the year: 2021. The third digit indicates the release number: 3. So it is based on the 2021.3 version of the IntelliJ Platform.
See also: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/docs/intellij/build-number-ranges.html#build-number-format
The Android Studio version name (e.g. "2021.3.1") encodes what version of IntelliJ it was based on, as follows:
<Year of IntelliJ Version>.<IntelliJ major version>.<Studio major version>
As described in the "New versioning scheme - Android Studio" section of the Announcing Android Studio Arctic Fox (2020.3.1) & Android Gradle plugin 7.0 Android Developers Blog post:
The first two number groups represent the version of the final IntellIj platform that a particular Android Studio release is based on (earlier canaries may still be on the earlier version). For this release, this is 2020.3.
The third number group represents the Studio major version, starting at 1 and incrementing by one for every major release.
So "2021.3.1", for example, encodes that this version of Android Studio is based on the "2021.3" version of the IntelliJ platform.
I just updated Android Studio Arctic Fox and I noticed that there are different versions:
Android Studio arctic fox
Android Studio Electric Eel Canary
Android Studio Dolphin
Android Studio Bumblebee
I’m a little lost.
so I’d like to know if:
1-their installations are independent of other
2-What are the differences between each of them and their usefulness ( when used one versus another ).
3-also if there is a better ( forward ) than another ?
thank you.
Differences
To answer your latter two questions first, instead of using version numbers, they are just version names. They are ordered alphabetically.
So sequentially:
Android Studio arctic fox
Android Studio Bumblebee
Android Studio Chipmunk
Android Studio Dolphin
Android Studio Electric Eel (Canary)
The difference: newer versions have the newest features and security updates. They are otherwise the same and serve the same purpose.
The canary version represent a version in active development, usually released early and are prone to bugs and crashes.
The current stable release, as of this writing, is Android Studio Chipmunk.
Are the installations independent of one another?
Not necessarily. As newer versions are released, they are installed on top of the older version. However, if you install a beta or canary version, they are usually installed independently alongside other installations.
I would like to run a java project with IntelliJ IDEA rather than with Gradle in Android Studio. I know this is possible with the Jetbrains IDE (see https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/2020.3/work-with-gradle-projects.html#delegate_build_gradle), but is there an equivalent option in Android Studio? I am running on Bumblebee 2021.1.1 and all that the gradle options are showing currently are here:

IntelliJ IDEA's documentation shows they include more options though:

I know Android Studio is not in reality IntelliJ IDEA, but is just a fork of it. Is this ability I'm looking for just something Android Studio does not allow?

I have tried looking but i could not find the auto import section in android studio arctic fox, and i have also followed some of the answers shown here but still to no avail
I just figured out that android studio arctic fox has auto import enabled by default
I lately upgrade Android studio from 4.2.x to Arctic Fox (on Ubuntu 20.04), did the required reconfiguration (mainly changing from JDK 8 to JDK 11), then rebuilt and installed the app (debug version) on Android devices (with Android 9 and Android 6). Everything seems to work without error, except that the debugger doesn't launch the app and I have to launch the app manually. But after I tap on the icon,
the app doesn't run on the devices, which only say "App isn't installed". I googled in the whole afternoon and got no references on that. What can be wrong? Am I the only one getting this problem?
OK I found the problem.
It turns out as Arctic Fox requires explicitly setting android:exported for all activities in AndroidManifest.xml. I set android:exported="false" to my default activity. Change it to "true" solved the problem.
