1. After the 2013 Google I/O conference, Google came up with an Android Studio.android Studio for Android developers, a new Android development environment based on IntelliJ idea. Similar to the Eclipse ADT plugin, Android Studio provides integrated Android development tools for development and debugging. I feel much more convenient than eclipse in debugging development.

In addition to the IntelliJ feature, Android Studio also offers:

Build support based on Gradle;

Android specific refactoring and quick fixes;

Prompt tool to better control capture of program performance, usability, version compatibility, and other issues;

Support Proguard and application signature function;
