Downloading latest Android Studio - android-studio

My current Android Studio installation (linux-64bit) is showing a pop-up saying there is a new Version of Android Studio 2.
I am unable to download the current stable of Android Studio.
The download-link (on big green button) reffers to the Terms and Conditions. If i Accept and klick the button (which is showing no text, which is also strange) it redirects me to the index page again.
Here is the index page: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Have they withdrawn the release or something? Does anybody know a direct-link?
Thank you for any help on it

You need to have a little patience and try to check for update from time to time until you'll be able to update Android Studio from within the IDE. I encountered the same issues as you but after a while it worked well.
My advise is to wait with the upgrading to 2.0 and stick with your 1.5 version because a lot of people here have problems with Android Studio 2.0 (for now it is kind of buggy, maybe later Google will fixed some issues...).
As an example of my problems with Android Studio 2.0 I've posted recently, check this: After upgrading to Android Studio 2.0, I cannot change the screen orientation in the Android emulator, but of course it is your decision to upgrade or not :) .
P.S. I'm a linux user too.

As this is entirely a new version, you will not be able to update (or upgrade) from within the app.
You will have to download the installer and install at the same location replacing your Android studio 1.5
I did the same thing and is working for me.

Have adb.exe at specified location but still have "adb.exe is obsolete and has serious performance problems" dialog box

I have the adb.exe at "../AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools\adb.exe" and even checked the virus chest of antivirus everything is fine.
But still get the dialogue box saying
"adb.exe is obsolete and has serious performance problems".
What worked out for me was after
Create Virtual Device
Choose a device
select Q API Level 29 image with target as Android 10.0 (Google APIs)
not just Android 10.0
and proceed as usual.
Hope its useful for you!
Maybe a bit late but the accepted solution didn't work for me. However the following did:
SDK Manager -> SDK Tools
Delete current Android SDK Build-Tools even if it is the latest version. In my case, I observed it also uninstalled a lot of previous versions
Restart Adroid Studio
Install the latest Android SDK Build-Tools
Restart Adroid Studio
I suspect the problem happened due to some sort of error in incremental updates of adb

Android Studio 4.0 doesn't recognize any previous virtual devices

First post--be gentle. Can't find any posts on Android Studio 4.0, so I hope this isn't a repeat. I updated Android Studio from 3.6.3 to 4.0 on Windows 10 (1909). Had created a couple of virtual devices in 3.6.3 (a Pixel 2 running API 28 and a Pixel 3 running API 29)--both worked great in AS-3.6.3 and I could develop apps, compile, load, and run them with no problem.
After the update to AS-4.0, the virtual devices no longer appear in the devices box at the top of the GUI--it just says "No Devices". When I open the AVD Manager, I can see them, and I can start them (although when I start them I get a pop-up saying "AVD Manager: Unable to locate adb"), but I can't get any code to download and execute on it. On the Pixel 3 emulator, I also get another pop-up saying "Detected ADB: Could not automatically detect an ADB binary.", and it gives instructions to resolve it, which don't make any difference (jump into extended controls and toggle "Use detected ADB location").
When I try to open a past project and run it, I get the same behavior--no devices found.
I've also tried making new emulators, hoping the new setup would recognize them, but to no avail. Tried starting and restarting AS, as well as the computer, also to no avail. I have Android SDK Build-Tools 30-rc4, the latest Android SDK Command-line Tools, Android Emulator 30.0.12 Android SDK Platform-Tools 30.0.1, and the Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator all installed.
I've Googled and spoken words of fierce power over this for several days now. Any suggestions for how to get AS-4.0 to recognize the emulators? I've resisted uninstalling everything and starting over--was hoping it was just a configuration thing.
Thanks in advance,
Uber
After some more Googling, I found the answer here (I think my constraint of wanting an answer for AS-4.0 specifically kept me from finding it):
Could not automatically detect an ADB binary - Android Studio
I had to redownload the SDK platform-tools zip file and reinstall it. I don't know why the old one got messed up with the migration from AS-3.6.3 to 4.0, but there you go--such is life with complicated software.
As soon as I replaced the old platform-tools directory with the new one, all my old emulators showed up and I was back in business.
Thanks anyway!

Adding an Activity in Android Studio

I recently upgraded to Android Studio 2.2.2 and the ability to add an activity during the Create New Project quick start is no longer available. Where/how can I add my first activity in to a project?
Thank you!
Unfortunately, there are some issues with latest 2.2.2 version of Android Studio, especially on Linux systems. Please delete/uninstall existing version and download 2.2.1 from tools.android.com.
I faced the same issue in android.2.2.3 "new activity" not listed, but a simple restart of android studio solves it. I restarted android studio and now it shows new activity option..

Rendering problems for Android Studio

Since yesterday I have start to working with Android studio. My problem is when I make my layout. I've next error (watch the screenshot for more information):
Rendering Problem: This version of the rendering library is more recent than your version of Android Studio. Please update Android Studio
If I check for updates he say that I already have the latest version of Android studio and so I can't update.
I have also install some things in the SDK manager, see screenshot below.
Can anyone help me to fix this problem?
Thanks.
I had the same problem, current update, but rendering failed because I need to update.
Try changing the update version you are on. The default is Stable, but there are 3 more options, Canary being the newest and potentially least stable. I chose to check for updates from the Dev Channel, which is a little more stable than Canary build. It fixed the problem and seems to work fine.
To change the version, Check for Updates, then click the Updates link on the popup that says you already have the latest version.
Good luck in the class!
This issue has been fixed now with the latest update 1.2.2 from stable channel, so no need to install beta or canary versions.

Can you upgrade your Android Studio Preview to Android Studio beta (0.8.x)

Has anyone been able to upgrade from within the Android Studio Preview (canary channel) to Android Studio beta or do you have to start with a fresh beta install?
You cannot upgrade Android Studio Preview to Beta. These are two different products. You have to uninstall the preview and install the beta. It was straitforward for me. Beta setup can even import Preview settings. I just had to update my build.gradle file (on a small project) since I also downloaded API 20. It was not more painfull than an ordinary canary update of Android Studio Preview after all ;)
This page may be usefull for a step by step Android Studio Beta installation guide: http://bugapart.blogspot.fr/2014/06/install-android-studio-beta-for-dummies.html
As Dazzibao said, you cannot. However I would like to point out that I can't seem to find the Preview version being advertized for download anywhere on Google's site anymore. It would seem to me then that it IS recommended to upgrade to Beta as soon as possible if you're already on the Preview build. I would have posted a comment to reply directly to amchang87's comment on going against recommending it, but I simply don't have the rep yet.
I'm swapping mine out as I type this.
