Updates to Live Edit

In Android Studio Electric Eel, you can use Live Edit to deploy code changes to your composable to an emulator or device in real time. You don't have to wait for builds or deployments to be completed, so you can make faster progress in creating your app.

Starting with Electric Eel Canary 9, if your project is using Compose version 1.2 or higher, Live Edit no longer needs to reset composition after code changes. Only the first code change made to a given file resets composition. Subsequent edits don't reset composition.
