How to update Android Studio automatically?

Question

I need to Update Android Studio, to the 0.9.9 version, but when I press \"Download\" (On the update info dialog box) it sends me here:

http://develope

Answer 1

For this task, I recommend using Android Studio IDE and choose the automatic installation program, and not the compressed file.

1. On the top menu, select Help -> Check for Update...
2. Upon the updates dialog below, select Updates link to configure your IDE settings.

3. For checking updates, my suggestion is to select the Dev channel. I

don't recommend Beta or Canary

channel which is the unstable version and they are not automatic installation, instead a zip file is provided in that case.

4. When finished with the configuration, select Update and Restart for downloading the installation EXE.
5. Run the installation.

Warning: Among different version of Android Studio, the steps may be different. But hopefully you get the idea, as I try to be clear on my intentions.

Extra info: If you want, check for Android Studio updates @ Android Tools Project Site - Recent Builds. This web page seems to be more accurate than other Android pages about tool updates.

Answer 2

There's not always an updater between versions, depending on the version you're starting from and what you're updating to. If that happens, download the full installer and reinstall Android Studio.

Answer 3

If you are already using Android Studio, you can update via the built in Update mechanism (Check For Updates); make sure you switch to the canary or beta channels if you're not being offered an update.

To configure automatic update settings, see the Updates dialog of your IDE Preferences or settings. You can then switch to either the canary or beta channels. (The default is "stable" but probably that one fails to automatically inform of updates).

Hope it helps. Thanks.

Answer 5

Yes you are right. There is no built in mechanism for automatically updation of Android Studio. You have to manually download it and configure it.

Answer 6

On the startup screen you can use the configure button to check for updates.
