In other words, you’re stuck: if you’re moving from Eclipse to Android Studio, and not already using Gradle in Eclipse (which offers decent support via plugins), you’re going to have to switch. Verdict: Android Studio (by a hair) Gradle IntegrationĪndroid Studio uses the Gradle set of build tools in fact, it’s so integrated, it’s next-to-impossible to use a different tool. In general, I found that the code completion is better on Android Studio than Eclipse, which seems to get a little confused at times and doesn’t always give accurate results. For me personally, the most important part is when the IDE tells me the member names of an object. The more time you spend as a programmer grinding out code, the more you appreciate code completion. Yes, you want a good, usable interface-but if you’re writing a serious application for serious work, most of your time will be spent on code, not tweaking visuals. But the reality is, unless you’re a Visual Basic aficionado who’s spent years drawing out sophisticated 3D interfaces with chiseled buttons and can’t quite break the habit, the amount of time you’re going to spend on drawing out the interface is minimal. One supposedly great feature of Android Studio is its layout designer with a drag-and-drop interface.
If this is not a new project, are you currently using Eclipse and considering switching to Android Studio?.one or two developers) shop? Or a huge Fortune 1000 corporation with a team of dozens or even hundreds of employees? Which one should you use? Before we can offer any such advice, several things need to be factored in:
So let’s compare Eclipse and its Google-made Google Plugin with Google’s own Android Studio, developed with the help of the people who make IntelliJ IDEA. Eclipse, on the other hand, is the granddaddy of IDEs although it doesn’t offer native Android support, it does have some nice tools to help you build Android applications-one such tool is the Google Plugin for Eclipse, made by Google. Roughly a year later, the platform is still in “early access preview,” and work on it is ongoing. Google’s Android Studio is a development tool for Android based on the IntelliJ IDEA platform, one that managed to attract a lot of hype when it rolled out in mid-2013. And once everything’s coded, you can work on creating some decent icons.
