Download Android Studio Quail 1 RC 2 (2026.1.1.7) for Windows 64-bit EXE. Android Studio Quail 1 RC 2 is the newer Release Candidate refresh in the Quail 1 preview branch, carrying forward the same feature set while focusing on minor fixes, stability work, and final polishing before the branch reaches stable.
This is the standard Windows installer and is the simplest option if you want the usual click-through setup experience on a 64-bit Windows PC. Quail 1 RC 2 is the more mature side of the current Quail preview cycle, so it makes more sense for developers who want an early look at the upcoming Android Studio direction without jumping straight to the faster-moving Canary track.

What this RC 2 build is for
This build is best suited to Android developers who want to test IDE behavior, preview upcoming tooling changes, and validate project compatibility on a branch that is already closer to stable than the earlier Quail canaries. It is a better fit for serious evaluation than curiosity-only testing, but it is still a preview release rather than a final production build.
Install and verification notes
- Keep your stable Android Studio installation available for normal day-to-day work.
- Use this Quail 1 RC 2 package for side-by-side preview testing, migration checks, and pre-release validation.
- Verify the SHA-256 hash after downloading if you want to confirm the package matches the published RC 2 file exactly.
If you specifically want the newest experimental Quail branch instead of the more settled Release Candidate track, Quail 2 Canary builds are the branch to watch. If you want the safer Quail preview line, this RC 2 package is the better place to start.
