Android Studio vs. Backendless

Android Studio is a great mobile development IDE. I have found it is the best for both Android and Flutter development. It is created by JetBrains, so any developer used to their products, such as IntelliJ IDEA, will find themselves right at home with this IDE. It is very intuitive so it is a good choice for people needing to learn an IDE quickly.

• Support for developing in either the emulator or a device means I can quickly diagnose platform specific issues
• The support for Kotlin and Java is stellar, with projects easily containing both types of code with ease
• Hot reload support means that I can quickly test changes without waiting for a length build and optimization process
• Excellent cross platform support means I can develop on macOS, Windows, or Linux without losing functionality between platforms

• Android Studio needs a very high amount of RAM and a high-end processor to run smoothly, which can't be affordable for everyone.
• Updates in Gradle files can sometimes come up with a hectic improvement in whole code, which can lead us to improve some code and consume precious time.
• Multitasking is very difficult in Android Studio due to its heavy consumption of resources.

I gave it an 8, because it is a powerful tool as compared to other IDE's available in the market, and I cut 2 points because it is memory intensive and sometimes slows down my laptop.

Overall support for Android Studio is quite good. As the project is maintained by Google itself, frequent updates are usually made to Android Studio to keep the IDE update and bug-free. Many community forums are also available to help developers across the world if they face any issue.

Android Studio is the best possible offering to make android based apps. It's a product by Google and the official integrated development environment for android app development. That's why it is able to offer the easiest to learn and simplest coding environment to developers. But it needs higher performance and is at times slower as compared to Flutter, etc. So that's the only drawback, but overall it's better than most tools for app development.

• The APPs developed with ANDROID STUDIO take a long time to develop, however this extra expense is compensated by the low rate of claims that our technical service must attend.
• By working with native code, you do not depend on external library providers and their associated cost.
