Android Studio Instant Run

[Tom Eng]

Hi Folks,

If you are using Android Studio to write op modes for your FTC Robot Controller, then it is strongly recommended that you disable the Instant Run feature that is included with newer versions of Android Studio.

Instant Run is problematic and can cause weird (and difficult to debug) run time errors with the FTC Robot Controller app.

Details on how to disable Instant Run can be found on the developer.android.com website:

Hi Folks - This warning no longer applies with the current versions of Android Studio. I am unsticking this post.

Thanks. I have also submitted feedback to the ftc-docs.firstinspires team as instant run disabling is still mentioned there. After 3 years on Blocks we are moving to Android and hence had to research this.
