Android Studio

We can develop apps for all types of android devices, whether it is mobile, tablet, TV, etc.

It has one of the great user interfaces.

It has more library support than other IDEs.

Well documented and large community.

Debugging is not that great, it can show some specific details for a better understanding of the issue.

It is a RAM eater tool, its hard to do multitask along with the android studio.

Sometimes after updating the android studio, we have to face so many random issues with the SDK or codes.

By using native code you have full access to functionalities.

It supports programming in JAVA and also in KOTLIN according to the preference of the software engineer.

Perhaps for a novice programmer, the amount of options visible in the interface could be intimidating.

Emulators are usually slow, perhaps their performance could be optimized.

Improve the integration wizard with GOOGLE Firebase services.

It's updating regularly and becoming better and better

The device compatibility of apps which are developed by this platform

Installation is so easy and the product is easy to use

Hot reload doesn't work sometimes

Emulators could be better

System requirements are higher than other tools

Perfect for both Android and Flutter development

Has a great set of plugins for specific needs

Has a nice look and feel and a great layout

More improvement with the Android emulator functionality

More improvement with the database explorer functionality

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

Slow performance on older PCs means that you should develop only on the latest hardware

Project opening involves a long indexing and warm up process, meaning that a quick peek at an old project can result in a wait of a few minutes

Initial build times can be very long, although these have been slowly improving in recent versions of Android Studio

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

automated code signing

build

interface to gradle builds

usability with various packages is always a question mark

so much freedom to alter things that stuff goes non-standard in a hurry

Android Studio can be used to develop quality applications in Android devices such as Phone, Tablet, Wearable, TV and Android Auto.

Support for C/ C++ code using Android NDK.

Support for different testing tools and frameworks.

Android Studio is not light weighted. It cannot be used on low configuration machines.

Emulator is very slow.

Takes too long to build and run.

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 is very lightweight and resource management is done pretty well in this IDE.

It boots up very fast as compared to other development IDEs.

It is not a memory hungry IDE.

Even novices can work with this IDE very easily.

Emulator starts very slow in Android Studio, maybe that is the area where it needs improvement.

The most exciting thing is the auto-completion facility of this IDE.

Also it has a very good community support for the user.

It takes a lot of memory space to install the IDE.

Heavy application and will slow down PC performance.

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.

Android IDE made by Google

Easy to install

Easy to configure

It consumes a lot of memory.

Android emulator could be better.

Hot Reload does not work well sometimes.

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.
