Best tool for Android app development
[Android Studio is] being used mostly by the engineering team, and that too specifically by the Android engineers coding in Kotlin / Java, along with the Product Management and Quality Analyst teams. Since it's an app development tool, it doesn't find any use case with the non technical departments and is only used by technology teams.
- Quick to learn and easy to use
- Debugging is super easy
- Open source
- Needs high performance system/laptop
- Leads to crashes on most basic windows laptops as it takes a lot of RAM
- Need to make system level changes to let Flutter work with this
- Support/built in integration with Google cloud, firebase, and other google tools
- Ease of use and fast learning curve for younger engineers in team
- Easy code compilation, better error handling and helps with faster app releases
- It has led to need for lesser releases and bugs are pre identified by Android Studio
- Helps save on almost 20-30% need for additional tech resources, and thus saves cost
- Has made us buy high performance machines and laptops
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 Best Android Application Developing IDE
Score 10 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
From my University life, I started developing mobile applications. Most of the smartphone companies made thousands of Android mobile devices, including Android watches, TV boxes and many more. Android is fully customizable mobile operating system developing by Google. Android Studio is developed by Google and it allows users to develop Android applications compatible with any of the devices. Android Studio is always up to date.
- Comes with Emulator facilities.
- Updates with latest Android libraries and technologies.
- Open source and fully free to use.
- Getting more processing power to run for both developing IDE and Emulator.
- The updating process is very slow.
- It provides a stable developing environment facility for the developer.
- Android Studio helps to develop, run and test applications.

Android Studio for teachers and authors
I use Android Studio in my dual capacity as both a teacher and an author. I teach computer science at a liberal arts college, and I write books on Android and Flutter app development. The only others in my organization who use Android Studio are students in some of my courses. For my work writing Android app development books, Android Studio is the only reasonable alternative. (As far as I know, the number of Android developers who don't use Android Studio is near zero.) For development in Flutter, I use Android Studio because I've been told that it's the most mature platform for Flutter development. I have reason to believe this because Android Studio and Flutter come from the same company; namely, Google.
- Features customized for Android and Flutter development. For example, it has Java-to-Kotlin translation for Android and easy widget wrapping for Flutter.
- Good refactoring tools.
- Highly customizable.
- Unlike Eclipse, Android Studio has no concept of a workspace. Each window houses only one project. It's not very easy to jump between projects.
- Android Studio isn't lightweight. It consumes lots of memory and takes lots of time to perform certain tasks.
- I frequently see ignorable messages telling me that Android Studio has encountered an error (an error in the IDE, not an error in my code). I've never bothered to find the source of these messages because the messages go away quickly, and they don't keep me from running my code.
- I cover Android Studio in my Android app development and Flutter app development books.
- My students use Android Studio in their mobile app development courses.
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 now five years older and (2) Android Studio is more intimately linked with Android than Eclipse was.

Android Studio - the ultimate tool for Android development
I am an Android developer at Mealocity Foodtech. I've held this position for more than 2.5 years. Since I learned Android, I am using Android Studio in my learning stage and also at my company.
Basically our company is a food aggregation company based in Mumbai, India and we are providing websites, Android applications and iOS applications for our clients as per their customization needs. So for Android applications we are only using Android Studio.
Android Studio is being used by our Mobile Development Department only.
Android Studio is solving our needs that are necessary for Android Development. We are, in fact, using Android Studio for Java development, Kotlin development, and Flutter development also.

- Android Studio is the only software currently available in the market for Android development.
- Before Android Studio people were using Eclipse. Currently, most of the developers are using Android Studio due to the following points.
- Gradle file.
- Inbuilt Android Virtual Device to test Android applications.
- Android Debug Bridge.
- Support of Geny Motion for low configured systems.
- Easy to use and easy to understand Interface.
- Available for cross-platform use for Windows, MacOS, Linux, etc.
- Open-source software.
- It comes with 24x7 Google support and JetBrains support to resolve problems.
- Android Studio is very handy for Android development due to its self-creating or destroying coding enhancing techniques.
- 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.
- Due to Android Studio's day by day improvement, our company is making Android applications in more and more effective and efficient ways.
- 24x7 support from Google and JetBrains is making our work running 24x7 smoother, and making our clients happier and happier day by day.
- Due to the awesome animation and transition tricks, we are providing our clients more than they expected.
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.
Real-time problem-solving techniques and an awesome user interface are just mind-blowing.
