Overall Satisfaction with Android Studio

I have been using Android Studio for the past three years. It is used across the whole team in our company. Android Studio is the official IDE for Android application development. This contains many tools for building and testing your Android app very effectively. Studio is available in Windows, Linux and Mac OS and it is completely free to use.
  • 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.
  • Emulator support
  • Lint tool for improving code quality
  • Unit testing support
  • As it is free of cost, it saves a lot of money.
  • Increased efficiency.
  • Android Studio ruins so much of developer time too (if your machine is low configured).
We use Android Studio for Android app development because it is the most efficient and official Integrated development environment for Android.

Did Android Studio live up to sales and marketing promises?

Did implementation of Android Studio go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Android Studio again?

Yes

Android Studio is one of the best IDEs for Android app development. It has a lot of useful features such as Emulator, Android NDK, Plugins, Code hints, Java to Kotlin conversion, etc. But there needs to be more improvements and optimization. Android Studio needs powerful machines to run smoothly. This is where Studio becomes less appropriate.
