Overall Satisfaction with Android Studio

We use Android Studio to write Android app code and develop Android applications. Currently we are using JAVA, Kotling, XML and some webpages to show on UI. Earlier, we were using Eclipse to develop Android projects, but Eclipse is not giving updates to support the latest features, as well as not supporting AI agents like GitHub Copilot, Gemini Code Assist, etc. We resolved that problem via Android Studio.

Pros

  • Supporting latest api via Android platform
  • Supporting AI agents like Github Copilot, Gemini Code Assist etc
  • Providing better documentation and support

Cons

  • Some time its taking too much time to build app
  • Apply changes feature not working some time
  • Breaks ADB connection autometically
  • Android profiler helps us to get the realtime memory leaks, memory allocations and crashes.
  • Improved the proficiency of the developer
  • Reduced the overall cost of development
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.
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 heavy, and Android Studio is the lightweight version of IntelliJ. That's why I am using Android Studio.

Do you think Android Studio delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Android Studio's feature set?

Yes

Did Android Studio live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Android Studio go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Android Studio again?

Yes

If anyone is working on the generic android project not on customise android OS project, then Android Studio is the very good option. In case of customised OS, there are some compatibility issues that will come, so I will not prefer it in that case, but for the generic cases, nothing is better than Android Studio. I am using Android Studio for my 10+ running projects and Eclipse only for 1 Android Pax terminal app development.
