Cause 1: Android Studio is developed based on IntelliJ IDEA. Therefore, Android Studio inherits all functions of IntelliJ IDEA.

Cause 2: Android Studio is developed by Google and is specially used for Android Development Editor. In other words, Google will give all the delicious and easy-to-use content to the parent.

Cause 3: Google announced that it would stop all support for Eclipse Android development tools by the end of the year (2015), including ADT plug-ins, Ant build systems, DDMS, Traceview and other performance and monitoring tools.

Cause 4: Android Studio has powerful functions.

In addition to the functions of IntelliJ IDEA, AndroidStudio also provides the following functions:

Supports the flexible build system based on Gradle. Supports the construction of variant versions and the generation of multiple APK files. Supports the use of code templates to help you quickly create common app functions. supports a wide range of layout editors, drag-and-drop topic editing supports lint tools to capture performance, availability, version compatibility, and other issues. Supports code obfuscation and built-in google cloud platform support for application signatures, therefore, it is easy to integrate google cloud message and app Engine with the ADB tool. You can easily view logs with built-in performance detection tools to detect memory, CPU, traffic, and frame rate in real time. what is this book mainly about?

I divided the functions of Android Studio into 13 categories, which outlines the main framework of this book:

1. Rich file management functions:

Android Studio supports a wide range of file formats. Basically, common file formats are supported. If the file format you want to use does not exist, android Studio also allows you to install plug-ins or custom rules.

4. Quick Navigation Mode

If you are familiar with the navigation shortcut keys of Android Studio, you can read the code in one go. (find the code you want, clarify the relationship between codes ).

For details, see chapter 07th code check.

7. Awesome refactoring

Basically, all the refactoring functions you can think of are supported, and the support is very good.

For details, see Chapter 1 reconstruction

8. Flexible building functions

Supports IDE self-built, built-in Gradle, you can also use Maven and other tools to build, very flexible.

For more information, see Chapter 1 "build".

9. Powerful running/debugging Functions

The running/debugging function is powerful. Who knows it? You don't believe it.

For more information, see Chapter 10th running.

10. Easy-to-use integration tools

Perfect Integration of various easy-to-use tools (Android \ Junit \ Java Doc \ Task, etc.

For details, see Chapter 1 tools

11. Integrate common version management systems

By default, Android Studio integrates common version management systems such as Git and SVN, which can be easily used after simple configuration.

In addition, Android Studio supports local history. You can view the change history of any file in the project using the IDEA system, you can easily restore a version when you need it.

For details, see chapter 12th version control.
