"It's an IDE based on IntelliJ."
I'm in.
- brown9-2 13y agoI wonder if they've licensed something from JetBrains or if this "IDE" is an extensive plugin on top of the free version of IntelliJ.
- king_jester 13y agoIt's this, they said it was based on the community (free) edition of intellij.
- Zigurd 13y agoThis is great. It would have been hard to make an IDE with the polish of IntelliJ from scratch, but, without official support from Google for Android development plugins, layout editors, etc. I had been reluctant to make the jump.
- Taylorious 13y agoThat makes me angry. I really like Jetbrains as a company and you would think Google could spare some money and pay Jetbrains something.
- jlmendezbonini 13y agoDon't be angry...JetBrains sounds happy: "Confirmed! Android Studio is a new IDE that Google is developing in cooperation with JetBrains and based on IntelliJ IDEA. Details shortly." https://twitter.com/jetbrains/status/334725715922669568 https://twitter.com/jetbrains/status/334725715922669568
- mayanksinghal 13y agoCTO of Jetbrains is talking about this at the moment at Google IO. It could have been a collaboration.
- LordIllidan 13y agoHell, imagine all the PR at the moment. They don't just do Java, they have IDEs for PHP, iOS, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if their sales took off as a result of this keynote.
- nevster 13y agoI agree. I see it as a massive win for JetBrains!
- namityadav 13y agoThis is massive for Jetbrains! We don't know whether some money exchanged hands at this moment, but Jetbrains is going to get a lot of value from the primary Android development platform being based on their product.
