Android Studio is a development environment (IDE) created by Google on the basis of IntelliJ, which is directed to developers of applications for Android. It allows you to conveniently design, create and debug your own programs on the currently most popular system platform for mobile devices. The software offers similar possibilities as Eclipse environment with ADT plug-in installed, but it is much simpler and more intuitive, especially for novice programmers.

It took over all the best solutions known to IntelliJ users, offering a tool optimized to a large extent for comfortable work with source code. Deciding to use Android Studio, the user receives a development environment with a clear and configurable graphical interface, not to mention the syntax highlighting function or bookmarking mechanism, which allows you to work with multiple files at the same time. In the Android Studio environment you will certainly find both novice programmers, as well as the more advanced ones.

The developers will try to find other functions and tools useful in their everyday work, in addition to the code writer's tool. At this point we should mention, among others, a debugger, ToDo list, which allows to organize tasks to be performed within a given project or the mechanism of virtual devices for testing the created applications. In addition to the above mentioned functions in the software we will also find many other, smaller, but nevertheless useful functions such as the ability to test the appearance and behavior of the application interface in different resolutions or screen orientations without the need to compile and run the entire project.

Although Android Studio is currently in an early stage of development, it works stable and efficient.
