"Best IDE for Android Development"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Android Studio?

The seamless integration with the Android SDK is fantastic.Additionally, the ability to create Flutter apps is a significant advantage. The Dart extension simplifies file creation, and I find it particularly useful for converting Java code to Kotlin effortlessly. These features enhance my development workflow and make building cross-platform apps much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Android Studio?

One major disadvantage of Android Studio is its high RAM usage when starting up, which can slow down my system significantly. The performance of the emulator can be quite problematic, it often causes my computer to hang, especially when running multiple applications. Sometimes, the emulator fails to start altogether, forcing me to delete existing emulators and create new ones just to get it to work. This can be frustrating and disrupts my workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Android Studio solving and how is that benefiting you?

One of its key strengths is its detailed error reporting. Whenever an error occurs, it provides comprehensive information about the issue, including the specific file and line number where the error originated. This feature is invaluable for quickly diagnosing and resolving problems.

Additionally, when I encounter issues while running my code, Android Studio’s Invalidate caches tools have been a lifesaver. It allows me to easily clear all cached files and restart the IDE, which often resolves issues that arise during development and run the project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Android Development wouldn't have been this good if not for Android Studio"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Android Studio?

The best part is, it has got exactly what you need, from code completion to find anywhere, exactly the features you need. Plus the amount of flexibility it offers via plugins is just another level. I customise it with themes as well Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Android Studio?

It's pretty big and requires a very powerful computing machine. So if you're starting out as a software engineer with Android with a bare minimum specs machine, it's difficult to use it properly. It heats up a lot Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
