Android Studio vs. Codeanywhere

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.

If you're looking for a VS Code-like online environment with containers to spin up a dev environment or execute code and scripts it is a good fit. The environments are very customizable, and, all said and done, the price is fair. If you're looking for a remote code editor that allows you to connect via SFTP/SSH and edit the remote files, it isn't quite as seamless as it used to be. I still haven't found any all-cloud alternative, but it could be better.

• 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

• Run development containers with backend and frontend access.
• Allow for multiple users to collaborate and share containers and connections.
• Manage multiple connections to different servers.

• 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.

• Since some updates a couple of years ago, using Codeanywhere as a remote code editor rather than a container-based development environment has been more cumbersome and difficult.
• The modular nature of connections and containers seems like a good idea, but they don't always work properly.
• It's difficult sometimes to share a connection or container together with a collaborator.

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.

I've used CodeTasty, which is much more of a straight remote code editor, but their dev team is entirely unresponsive, and I became uncomfortable storing credentials with them, so I pulled everything from them and went back to Codeanywhere. VS code is similar but not fully online. While I know that they've released a fully online version, I haven't had the time or wherewith-all to make it work in the capacity I need. Codeanywhere is still the best solution I've found.

• 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.

• Helped me make mission critical edits remotely and on-the-fly.
• Spent a bit of time figuring out the change in user interfaces.
