Is Live Edit broken in Android Studio Flamingo? I can't use it anyway.

[Stylianos Gakis]

I’ve had a lot of luck with Live Edit in Flamingo Canary 1. Are you on that one?
But in general it is a feature which is not that reliable, at least not yet.

[czuckie]

to use it, you need to be using an emulator with an API level of 30+ I think

[Kyant]

It stopped working few days ago, I do meet its requirements but it is not working.

[Kyant]

It doesn't work on emulator either.

I found the issue.
• Live Edit in Flamingo 2 will never work
• Flamingo 1 with IDE new ui enabled won't work
• Flamingo 1 without IDE new ui works!

[Stylianos Gakis]

Heh that's why I guess I had luck with canary 1

@Chris Sinco [G] I wonder if this is a known problem it something. I know I've seen you use the new UI

[Kyant]

There is a workaround for canary 1, disable new ui (without restarting) and then rerun the app, you will see it works, then re-enable new ui, it still works.

Flamingo has the new UI from 22.2 merges, but we haven’t done any work in Flamingo to support it yet

I know I’ve seen you use the new UI

I’ve used it, but what you’ve seen in Studio is very detailed mock ups of the future 🙂

Yeah just saw your tweet explaining that, sorry for the ping 🤗
