Why android studio?

In today’s era, the android operating system is widely used in many mobile devices such as Samsung, HCL, more. Looking forward to the android operating system will be available soon in laptops and smartwatches. It has been observed through researches that techie enjoys android smartphones more. Most people feel android smartphones and tablets are easy to use. The most fundamental reason for the digit heads to use android is because it is open-source which allows the developer to develop creative apps. The developer can publish the app immediately once it is completed. Android is most preferred by developers to publish their application as it can give the application an incredible growth.

Which platforms used to develop android applications?

Mainly two platforms are used to develop an android application i.e android studio and eclipse IDE. The most frequently used platform is an android studio. There are multiple reasons to use an android studio instead of the Eclipse IDE.

Drawbacks of not Using Eclipse for android application development:

• Using more than 3 projects during mobile application development, you need to clean up the project and restart your eclipse which will take at least 3 to 4 minutes.
• Ant up-gradation will take your project away and then you need to spend some extra hours to get your project back.
• When you want to upload your application, then you have closed all active applications as Eclipse will crash easily.

The above pitfalls are the main reasons for developers to ask for a stable IDE to develop the application. Eventually, Google announced an android studio platform for app developers in 2013. This spreads the new wave of happiness among all app developers.

Reasons why Android Studio is considered as much more effective than Eclipse IDE

• Gradle Script:

Android Studio uses the Gradle build system which is so good and integrated. If you are using Eclipse IDE, then you need to check which Gradle build will go with your project. Apache Ant is used in Eclipse IDE as its fundamental build. Most of the java developers are aware of the Apache Ant.

• Advanced Code Completion:

Android studio and eclipse both have a feature and capability for code completion. Code completion on an android studio is more compatible with regards to application development than eclipse. The more you practice for coding, the more precisely you can code in on any platform.

• User Interface

Initially, you may face some problem in using the layouts but when you become familiar with an android studio interface you will enjoy. Eclipse IDE needs more effort and time to create a user interface of an application than an android studio. It is only particularly designed for android where eclipse IDE is designed for all languages.

• Manage organizational projects

Both can handle the organizational projects very well. Using eclipse, when we change the workspace it is required to restart the eclipse which looks extremely unpleasant. With the android studio, the files add in the Gradle build system there is no need to change the workspace.

• System Stability

Eclipse IDE needs more RAM than an android studio with all features of CPU working properly. If it is enabled to meet the required features, eclipse IDE will crash for sure. This problem will not arise in the android system. It is compatible and bug-free. Eclipse takes more time to build complex projects whereas an android studio takes less time.

• Drag and drop

Android studio provides drag and drop option to create a Graphical user interface however it is not available in eclipse. It is the most important evidence to prove that an android studio is specially designed for creating android applications. Through drag and drop options, it becomes very easy for the developer to create a graphical user interface. It helps to create an attractive helps in a much easier way.

INFERENCE

Android studio is much more compatible to develop an application for android smartphones and tablets. It is highly recommended to use an android studio for creating an application. If you are using Eclipse IDE, then just try an android studio once you will never switch to eclipse again for android application.
