How is it proprietary exactly?
Android Studio is open source:
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/tools/adt/idea/ https://android.googlesource.com/platform/tools/adt/idea/
There is certainly a commercial version which is not, but you don't have to use that and Google isn't shipping that version at last check.
- kragen 12y ago...I was wrong. Completely wrong. I thought IDEA was proprietary, because it used to be, but IDEA is free software now. Furthermore, if I had investigated that question for only a couple of minutes before posting, I would have known that. Thank you for taking the time to correct me. I'm happy that the truth is much brighter than what I thought.
- on_and_off 12y agoThe Jetbrains guys are also extremely skilled at creating IDEs. Short of buying Jetbrains (which seems unnecessary unless Google wants to scale its tools team extremely aggressively and a bad things for other languages), I don't think Google could have made a better move.
