First off, I must say that this was *NOT* written by me, nor do I have anything to do with its development. I am simply posting it for you guys to try out.


Android Studio is an Android IDE based on JetBrains' IntelliJ IDEA. It offers many improvements and updates over the ADT plugin for Eclipse, such as:

  • Viewing strings as if they were hardcoded
  • Viewing your app layout on multiple screen sizes at once
  • Better optimization
  • Advanced method prediction
  • and many more, because IntelliJ has so many more features built in anyways


Here is an introduction and overview of the new Android IDE:


If you have Windows, you must set up the JDK environment variables in order for Android Studio to launch.
I have made a tutorial for setting up Android Studio which you can watch here:



You can grab the newest version of Android Studio here:

In order to install it, you have to have the JDK, which you can get here:
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Hopefully this new IDE will catch on. I know I was ready for one. Fighting with Eclipse all of the time kinda drove me away from creating apps.



TL;DR?
Google made a new Android IDE called Android Studio, which they released here:
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

In order to install it, you have to have the JDK, which you can get here:

Thanks for looking, and let me know what you think
