Android Studio also provides a means to edit and preview layouts across different screen sizes and API version (see image below). - performance analysis which is made possible by a helpful memory monitor, which displays the memory usage of an application over time. Developers also gain access to Google Cloud Services with Android Studio, providing a way to add Google cloud Backends and Endpoints to a mobile Android application. --- ![](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/androidstudio-2-1-1-1.jpg?width=800&height=448&name=androidstudio-2-1-1-1.jpg) ![Pete Prestipino](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hubfs/Pete%20Prestipino.jpeg) [Pete Prestipino](https://www.websitemagazine.com/web-development/author/pete-prestipino) Digital marketing executive with proven experience in all aspects of search engine optimization (SEO), performance-based advertising, consumer-generated/social media, email marketing, lead generation, Web design, usability, and analytics. - 20-year Internet marketing veteran, currently serving as the Digital Marketing Campaign Manager at Antenna Group (formerly Chicago Digital). - Former Editor-In-Chief of Website Magazine, and a regular speaker on Web technology digital marketing strategy - Author of several books on digital marketing Including Web 360: The Fundamentals of Web Success; Affiliate 360: The Fundamentals of Performance Marketing; Domains 360: The Fundamentals of Buying & Selling Domain Names, and SEO 360: The Fundamentals of Search Engine Optimization. - - - [mailto:peter@websitemagazine.com](mailto:peter@websitemagazine.com) #### Popular Post ### [How to Embed AI in your Enterprise App ![How to Embed AI in your Enterprise App](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/unsplash-41618c-2-1-1-1.gif)](https://www.websitemagazine.com/web-development/how-to-embed-ai-in-your-enterprise-app) ### [How to Use Plugins in WordPress ![How to Use Plugins in WordPress](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/WordPress-Logo-1.png)](https://www.websitemagazine.com/web-development/how-to-use-plugins-in-wordpress) ### [Top 10 Tips to Build a Google-Friendly Site ![Top 10 Tips to Build a Google-Friendly Site](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/pexels-photo-1015568-1-1.jpg)](https://www.websitemagazine.com/web-development/top-10-tips-to-build-a-google-friendly-site) #### Subscribe to Our Newsletter!
