So... I just started getting into writing an Android app. What would be the advice... I installed Android studio last week, is that still a preferred IDE?

- giancarlostoro 9y agoI would say yes. After having horrible personal experiences using Eclipse and Android, Android Studio is more immersive, and I think it's the approach Google wants developers to use. If you're not going to use Kotlin or Java for Android development you would use the other IDE's for those other stacks / approaches, otherwise Android Studio is fine.
- smnscu 9y agoYep, don't know if you can change the channel in settings to get canary updates, but either way I installed from here: https://developer.android.com/studio/preview/index.html https://developer.android.com/studio/preview/index.html edit: I'm assuming you want, like me, to try Kotlin
- edubarr 9y agoYou don't actually need to use the 3.0 preview for kotlin development in android. You can use the stable version and just follow the instructions provided by jetbrains: https://kotlinlang.org/docs/tutorials/kotlin-android.html https://kotlinlang.org/docs/tutorials/kotlin-android.html
- smichel17 9y agoI personally prefer a mix of studio and vim. I'm more productive writing and refactoring in vim but studio is a head and shoulders above for fixing compiler errors. (alt-enter)
