Google Android Studio is Google's official Integrated Development Environment ( IDE ) for Android app development. Just as developers use Microsoft Visual Studio to create Windows apps and Apple XCode to create iOS and macOS apps, they use Android Studio to create Android apps.
Android Studio is a variant of Jetbrains IntelliJ IDEA, so those familiar with IDEA's code editor and development tools will recognize Android Studio's layout and basic features. However, Android Studio includes a number of advanced, Android-specific features that enhance developers' ability to create and test Android apps. Those features include:
Android Studio also integrates with GitHub and Google Cloud Platform, allowing developers to easily import code from and publish projects to those platforms. After a developer finishes testing and tweaking their app, they can use Android Studio's build tools and thorough documentation to prepare their app for publication on the Google Play Store.
Summary
If you plan to develop Android applications, there's no better place to start than familiarizing yourself with Android Studio. As Google's official Android IDE, Android Studio is the most reputable and comprehensive Android development environment. It contains all the tools Android developers need to develop, test, and publish Android applications.
