- rquirk 13y agoI do not like Eclipse - it is clunky and often requires restarts to pick up changes or clear itself of confusion - and have never used Android Studio, but AFAICT the latter is still not the recommended editor according to the Android documentation - https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html says "If you're a new Android developer, we recommend you download the ADT Bundle to quickly start developing apps." The ADT bundle is Eclipse-based. On the Studio page it warns "Caution: ... you may encounter bugs" (though as I say, with Eclipse I'm also sure you'll encounter your fair share of bugs!)
- vorg 13y ago> On the Studio page it warns "Caution: ... you may encounter bugs" Android Studio only added Gradle, which provides Groovy for its scripting, recently. Groovy has a history of shipping standalone versions as soon as possible and letting users find the bugs, and only afterwards does Grails bundle the version. I'd say Gradle-bundled sits somewhere between standalone and Grails-bundled on the testing scale for Groovy versions.
