Android studio is coming. Can it replace eclipse?

The Google I/O 2013 Developer Conference has made many people look forward to it before it starts. For me, every time Google I/O is held, it will always make me feel white. As a result, some people despise me and say, "Do you still care about this year if you have lived for so many years ?" Compared with the past 《Google I/O Conference back to source concern developers: release of the latest Android Studio development toolsAs stated in the article, hardware became the absolute main character at last year's I/O conference, and developers from far away seem to be insignificant spectators. This will inevitably cause developers to fall into the market. Therefore, Google has developed the latest Android SDK for Android Developers shortly after the opening ceremony in the early morning (local time ).
Studio development tools, the scene will cheer. Obviously, this is what developers expect.

After the release of Android Studio, the popularity of Android studio PK eclipse has been set off both at home and abroad. People are scrambling to discuss how to view Android studio launched on Google I/O? Can eclipse be completely replaced? To this end, yundun compiled and sorted out the relevant materials at home and abroad to see what charm Android studio has, so that developers can be impressed, and even abandon eclipse on a one-day basis.
Details about Android Studio
Android studio is a brand new Android Development Environment Based on intellij idea. Similar to the eclipse ADT plug-in, Android Studio provides integrated Android development tools for development and debugging.

In addition to intellij functions, Android Studio also provides:

• Support for gradle-based construction;
• Specific Android reconstruction and quick fix;
• Prompt tools to better control and capture program performance, availability, version compatibility, and other issues;
• Support proguard and application signature functions;
• The built-in layout editor allows you to drag and drop the UI components and preview the layout on multiple screen configurations.

Although Android studio has quickly won the favor of Android Developers since its launch, it is a pity that android studio has not been developed yet, and some bugs are inevitable during use. However, when performing a function demonstration on the Google I/O site, the code is used directly. IDE can check the encoding status, view the color code directly, and preview the layout of devices of different sizes-whether it is a 3.7 inch phone device or a 10 inch tablet device. IDE can even preview the layout of different languages to check whether text overflow occurs in different international product environments.

Who can be overwhelmed by such a powerful demonstration function? This makes Android studio a hot topic on Weibo QQ.

The developer has something to say: Eclipse is outdated and we need Android Studio
Google's launch of Android studio has aroused a buzz among developers. The industry generally regards Google as wise to switch to intellij-based IDE. BecauseDermot Daly, founder of tapadooA large number of Java developers believe that eclipse is outdated and cannot meet their application development requirements. Next, let's listen to Hacker News and the voices of many developers.

Davesims:I have to admit that intellij idea 12's support for Android is far better than eclipse, except for a better Java IDE. I'm wondering, what is the difference between intellij-based Android studio? I think it may be similar to the difference between rubymine of jetbrains and Ruby/rails plug-in support in intellij. The overall function is the same, but there is better UX integration in the domain.

Cookiecaper:Due to external project pressure, I had to use eclipse. I don't like it at all because it is huge and difficult. Rather than simplifying my work, it is very slow to start or use. If I want to enter a project, I have to manually copy the project file and edit it, Because eclipse is too slow even if a simple folder is created in the file system. The UI is very slow, which means loading is very slow, even switching from the "debug" to "code" Windows is very slow. In general, I want intellij idea to be better.

Airlocksoftware:I have been developing Android applications for several years. On my computer, eclipse has fallen to the point where building and running an application will put it down for a while. So I gave up eclipse and switched to intellij. So far, I feel very good and the response is fast. But intellij has some disadvantages, such as poor layout preview. So I was very excited when I heard that the Google Android team turned to intellij idea.
Chao:For me (an iOS + Android Developer), this is undoubtedly the most exciting highlight. This not only indicates that Google has started to stay away from the eclipse camp, but also expresses Google's commitment for maintaining its own IDE.
Bill CHENG:Both of them are developed on the basis of the intellij idea open-source project. Currently, Android studio does a great job, at least better than eclipse, but how to define it, let's wait until the version number reaches 1.0. It's too early.
Rlei:Intellij's ease of use is more than half past one, but a lot. It has a good reputation in the Java programmer group, and many people have used Google Android team since the very beginning. This time, Google started a free and dedicated version of Android studio based on intellij, and finally made me unable to pay for it, so I will always be happy with the eclipse coders.
