Android Studio Cannot Update

can't update Android Studio to latest version

You don't need to delete your Android Studio, just go:

Help -> Check for update, then it will show that "To configure automatic update settings, see the Updates dialog of your IDE Settings".
Click the Updates and switch the channel( I even go to the Canary Channel and get least Android Studio 1.0 RC2)

Android Studio: Update & Restart doesn't work

I've solved the problem. It is important how Android Studio was started. If I start it with a workspace parameter:

/android-studio/bin/studio.sh /<path_to_workspace>

then the update doesn't work.

So the solution is to start the Android Studio without any parameters.

Can't update Android Studio 4.1.2 to Android Studio 2020.3.1 arctic fox

I solved this problem by simply downloading the newest version from the Android Studio website and running the full installer rather than trying to use the patch.

You can keep your settings and have it remove the previous version, so the result is the same in the end as if you'd just done the patch upgrade.

Android Studio not deploying changes to app

I've got the same problem. This thread popped up first when I've searched for it. Solved it (hoping so) by not using the Instant Run feature. Might not be the best solution but it works for now.

Just go to "File -> Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployement -> Instant Run" and just disable it. With this Android Studio builds from scratch each time but it's better than not building it right.

Mini rant: Almost each version of Android Studio comes with an annoying bug. They're about to release the version 2 but its beta is still buggy. I hope they stabilize the IDE in the near future.

Can't update Android Studio - only download

That means that the current version can not be automatically updated. You should download the new version manually.

Android Studio Doesn't Update Automatically

I'm pretty sure I ran in to this as well when I updated to 2.0.

Perhaps because it's a significant major release and update, it can't be installed as a patch to the current version you have (or because your current version is too old), though I'm not sure why it's redirecting you to the Canary channel.

Do a fresh install of Android Studio 2.0, import your settings from your already installed version, and delete the old version.

Android Emulators not Working after Updating Android Studio

It happened to me too. Seems that there's a package called Intel HAXM no properly installed when you do this upgrade. Try this workaround:

Go to the Tools -> Android -> SDK Manager
Tap on SDK Tools and uncheck "Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer)"
After uninstall HAXM, install it again
Restart Android Studio
A new update will appear called "Android Emulators". Just install it and restart Android Studio again.
