Google Releases Android Studio 1.0, the First Stable Version of Its IDE
"After two years of development, Google today released Android Studio 1.0, the first stable version of its Integrated Development Environment (IDE) aimed solely at Android developers. You can download the tool right now for Windows, Mac, and Linux from the Android Developer site. Google first announced Android Studio, built on the popular IntelliJ IDEA Java IDE, at its I/O Developer conference in May 2013. The company's pitch was very simple: this is the official Android IDE." -- source: http://tech.slashdot.org/story/14/12/08/2129255 Cheers, Peter -- Peter Reutemann, Dept. of Computer Science, University of Waikato, NZ http://www.cms.waikato.ac.nz/~fracpete/ Ph. +64 (7) 858-5174

Not bad, they actually use Gradle at the backend to drive the builds <http://developer.android.com/tools/building/plugin-for-gradle.html>. This means you can customize the build process with additional scripts etc. And you are not actually tied to the IDE.

Never only rely on an IDE to build your system, you'd always want to have the option of automated builds. Also nice that they're using IntelliJ IDEA as basis rather than Eclipse (less bloat and sudden crap-outs).
