Visual Studio supports androud development through DOT NET only. Eclipse is very slow in case of large project, and also lack in supprots. IntelliJ IDEA supports Android development with JAVA as well as Kotlin, but it also supports the development of other languages, so it's …
Although there are alternatives on the market that propose creating ANDROID and IOS APPs in a single interface at the same time, in our case the experience was not positive since we had to access very specific functionalities. There was no other solution than to develop the …
I initially did code in Eclipse to develop an android app that is generally used for web apps and then I moved into Android Studio. That's the biggest thing I ever did I think. Android Studio has lots more functionalities and plugins than any other product. Now I am completely …
I am primarily a Java developer so many of the IDEs I have used are specifically made for Java development. I have used IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse, and Netbeans for Java development but Android Studio is far better for Android development specifically and it also has support for …
Android Studio is as good for Android development, as Visual Studio has been for Windows development. It is my first choice for Android development because it includes an excellent suite of tools and support for Android. Its built in refactoring and code fixes are much more …
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. …
We personally did not try too many others because the staff who we hired to take on mobile development were already familiar with it and were able to get going quickly with it. They and all their peers had already worked through others and we were content to trust their …
Android application development can also be done using the IntelliJ IDE. It is a very good IDE but it is paid for professional and commercial product development. However, IntelliJ IDE is available with a student license for limited application development features. Thus …
Eclipse used to be the official IDE for Android. Since Android Studio is now the official IDE, and since Eclipse is no longer supported for Android, I have no choice but to use Android Studio. Of course, Android Studio has more features than Eclipse had because (1) Android is …
Basically Eclipse is a tool where you have to do all on your own from start to end.
Android Studio is using its Artificial Intelligence techniques to enhance our coding experience and offer better , suggestions to create methods, variables, classes, etc.
The products mentioned are not really in the same category as Syncfusion. As far similar type of products are concerned, we haven't used others. We have evaluated for sometime but did not use. The main reason was the support service.
Radzen seemed like a quality product but we needed more control over the interface than they could allow. I don't recall the details about Telerik and Kendo. I think Telerik also rated high but was more expensive?
Devexpress was late in developing Blazor controls so we refocused on Syncfusion. As I mentioned, Syncfusion has much better financial support for small businesses.
I only used open source tools, as every other solution offered by companies are paid and they don`t offer any free license. Like I said before, the free license for developers and small businesses is a amazing feature that Syncfusion provides and they are the only one that do …
Yes, I use another framework at the same time. I am going to be very honest: the other framework is very good. There are two aspects, one positive and other negative: - The positive aspect of the other framework is the execution time. Is more faster than Syncfusion Essential …
Firstly, there is a free version for small businesses and it allows you to jump start without risk. I found one of the other products a bit short in the number of out-of-the-box supported events handlers for each control and, although you can manually add them, I feel more …
Telerik is similar in content and functionality. I used it for 1 yr and switched to Syncfusion based on price. I have never considered going back to Telerik
For the past eight years, we have not evaluated any other products, as we have found our current solution to be highly effective and have had no reason to consider alternatives.
The free community license is a major element, but it also allowed a fast start with minimal learning curve compared to adopting alternative solutions.
Syncfusion is a clear winner over what Telerik has to offer in functionality, rapid development and hands down on support. I disliked how Telerik decides if they will fix reported bugs or suggested product enhancements. Syncfusion in my opinion is far more cost effective as …
We evaluated DevExpress and two other libraries, whose names I've currently forgotten. But in the end, it was a race between DevExpress and Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise Edition, as they both offer a great amount of components with rich documentation. In the end we …
We are using this to developed windows form and I am fully satisfied with their performance and speed up development.it also provides easy to integrate with visual studio.it can also support vb.net, asp.net, MVC, and .net core web applications with a responsive user interface …
They are basically on par, but the docs and in general, including support, Telerik is a bit superior. I find it to be better in terms of user-friendliness and also better polished UI wise, I mean, overall they just look better and offer somewhat better themes/skins to all the …
Android Studio is the only platform you should consider for Android development. I have found that nothing else comes close in terms of documentation or support. There is always the temptation to develop for Android using a cross platform toolkit, such as Xamarin, but unless your app is incredibly simple, you will find your self wrestling with the toolkit more than actually creating your product. If you have any Android projects still in Eclipse, you should upgrade these to Android Studio - the backwards compatibility for older versions of Android is very good, with issues only occurring with debugging on older (Lollipop or below) devices. The only scenario Android Studio is not suitable for is cross-platform development. There is no way to share code between iOS, macOS, or Windows projects with Android Studio, unless you are developing a game in C++. If you wish to develop cross platform mobile apps, I suggest Microsoft Visual Studio.
The datagrid is probably their most popular control I would think. It is so flexible and configurable. Most of mine are plain views in ASP.NET Core, but I have a whole bunch that are dynamically created at runtime in my controller. That is so powerful.
It offers advanced code completion, and static analysis which speeds up coding and reduces errors.
Gradle integration helps to easily generate different app versions from a single project without the need of coding for a separate project, for example, if I am supposed to create a two different versions, one meant for free users and other for paid users, Android Studio allows me to do so from a single project, which saves a lot of time.
It provides real time information of CPU, mempry and network usage, which accordingly allows me to easily optimize the app.
Powerful emulator with almost all the device stimulation for testing.
Most complex activities (beyond the out of the box examples) require a very extensive knowledge of javascript. This is not really a short coming of the product but rather a reality for the user who is trying to fully utilize the capabilities of the software.
It takes effort to include a new component library into existing software, especially in our case where we have 5 large applications that are written and maintained by about 100 developers. So changing such a core thing comes with a lot of effort. The other reason we will very likely renew our use of Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise Edition is that it works really well and has helped us to speed up the development process.
Android Studio is very useful for developers to write the code of Android apps. It provides auto implementation, suggestions, and removes boilerplate codes, which helps developers write clear and optimized code. Number of third party and Jetbrains plugins available to improve the speed of development and help the developer.
I would rate Syncfusion® Essential Studio® a 10 out of 10 for overall usability. The components are intuitive to implement, with clear APIs and consistent design patterns across the suite. This makes it easy for developers to get started quickly and reduces the learning curve even when working with new controls. In addition, the documentation and sample projects provide practical guidance that helps accelerate development. The built-in customization options also allow us to adapt the components to fit our branding and business requirements without excessive effort. Overall, the usability is one of the key reasons why Syncfusion has become an essential part of our development toolset.
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.
Although I have decades of software development experience, I had never created a website from scratch before, and my html and css skills are not particularly strong. Between documentation and incredible dedication from the support team they helped me overcome all of my challenges. It's amazing that they typically create sample code for most of the issues that I submitted. On rare occasions where I uncovered a defect they kept me informed as to its status, and typically resolved it in a short-term release, and/or gave me a reasonable workaround. They hopped on zoom calls with me on multiple occasions when necessary.
I am primarily a Java developer so many of the IDEs I have used are specifically made for Java development. I have used IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse, and NetBeans for Java development but Android Studio is far better for Android development specifically and it also has support for things like Flutter development. VS Code is quickly becoming popular across languages but Android Studio is still at the top in my opinion.
Firstly, there is a free version for small businesses and it allows you to jump start without risk. I found one of the other products a bit short in the number of out-of-the-box supported events handlers for each control and, although you can manually add them, I feel more comfortable to just have them ready. After using the free version I just felt in love with Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise Edition controls and decided to stay with them; they have all I need and more. The usage of Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise Edition controls is straightforward and intuitive. Support is world-class even for the free version; you get answers in 24 hours at most. Also, the support team is ready to remotely connect to your project in case it is needed; we have had one situation like this, and the issue was solved.
First of all, I think the best positive impact is the reduce of time development. I do not know exactly how much time, but certainly, using the framework we save a lot of effort and time.
About negative impact, sometimes using the controls of the framewrok have a signifcant impact in the execution time and page load.
And of course, the use of Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise Edition has a significant impact of the learning of javascript and JQUERY.
