The documentation is quite expansive and is appropriately formatted for ease of read. This helps in breaking the complicated process of app development into manageable tasks. Installation is as simple as clicking an executable. ADB driver installation is seamlessly done along with it. The SDK manager is quite versatile. I was able to customize the package installation according to my needs. Necessary dependencies for cross-platform development can also be installed with the SDK manager. And it integrates quite well with React Native - which is the cross-platform solution that I currently use alongside and almost on a daily basis. It also features a robust CLI for advanced developers. The emulator allows testing and debugging apps on a variety of devices using downloadable device images. > > **Cons**: The SDK manager does not clarify the functionalities of individual packages. This makes figuring things out difficult for first-timers. It also can't handle unstable internet connection very well. I had to try a couple of times to download and install the packages. Customer support is mainly community-based. It is very unlikely that you will get direct help from the Android Studio team. > > Being the only full-fledged solution provided by Google, Android Studio has become a crucial part of my development life cycle. I am using it for both native and cross-platform app development. Despite its simplistic design, it still houses all of the integral components of app development (SDK, IDE, emulator). But I preferred that it didn't get cluttered with unessential packages and tools. And Android Studio allowed such nuanced customizations for me. I am using it to test, debug and compile apps after writing the code in React Native. ----- ### "Perfect IDE for Hybrid/ Native Android Development\!" — 5.0/5 > **Shaunak** | *12 February 2023* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Android Studio is a very sophisticated tool for app development. There are some pros when compared to other alternatives:- In-house Emulators for live-debugging of app (enabled live trials), and varied device catalogue to choose from.- Supports newer compiled languages like Dart, Flutter and Kotlin. It boosts efficiency. - Drag and Drop UI-builder is very replenish-able and innovation, it also induce more inspirations to be drawn out.- Test-drive development (TDD) made easy. Clean coding can easily be practised. - Awesome features like in-memory data storage, syntax highlighting and code auto-complete, suggestive completion. > > **Cons**: There are no such cons, its just that it requires a very high-end hardware accelerated GPUs for computation. But it would be great to use (IaaS) Virtual Machines, rent them to run Android Studio on top of it. > > Me and my team are using Android Studio for native and flutter app development since the college lab days. We also tried NetBeans, but it was not much great when it comes to syntax highlighting and auto-code completion. I would suggest to try VSCode also. ----- ### "Plz improve this Google \!\!" — 3.0/5 > **Dag** | *2 December 2022* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like Android studio because you can create your own applications. The problem is that not everyone learns English. That's why I'm asking Google to create program languages in all languages except English. This would be ideal and the developers of this world would be more attractive and hardworking in their own areas of work. > > **Cons**: Try to do several surveys when the person stops working on their application. From Android Studio. You have to make a survey about (what did you do on Android Studio? How do you find the API used and inserted by Google? And again and again ..... .) ----- ### "Build Smart Applications with Android Studio IDE" — 5.0/5 > **Akumu** | *16 September 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: There is one important thing I like which is unique about this software and this is none other than autosaving changes made during development. This is such as cool feature because I don't really need to keep hitting the keyboard keys to save changes every single second and also keeps my programs safe incase of power blackouts. > > **Cons**: It's always a challenge installing android studio on my side because it requires higher system specifications and faster internet. > > As a developer, sometimes I had problems with memorizing code structures but as per now android studio now solved my problem because it auto suggests for me what comes next in the code. ----- ### "No need anything else if the case Android development" — 4.0/5 > **Sinan** | *20 September 2023* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: its easy to use and customize code editor. > > **Cons**: build time could be less with this powerful modern processors like m1 - m2 > > its powerful tool end of the day if its even buggy sometimes. ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2081466/android-studio?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2081466/android-studio) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
