Multitasking is very difficult in Android Studio due to its heavy consumption of resources. Read full review It was a bit of a hassle to configure at first but once setup it's easy and fast. At a certain time they removed key items used in pipelines to force upgrades. The new UI though works well feels less intuitive than the previous one.

Read full review Alternatives Considered 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.

By working with native code, you do not depend on external library providers and their associated cost. Jose Perri Director of Engineering and Product Development
