As Android Studio has been declared the official Android IDE for some time now, it's time to transition over, albeit somewhat late. Not really wanting to uproot the development environment while in the middle of larger app updates, there was some delay.
In the meanwhile, dealing with the ever-outdated feeling of Eclipse ADT and the slow, glitchy behavior, I'm definitely welcoming a smoother development experience. No more twiddling the thumbs waiting for emulators to launch or excessive, consecutive Project-->Clean(s) to eliminate random non-legit errors. Haven't done a lot so far as still in the process of importing Eclipse projects over, but creating virtual devices using the AVD Manager has been amazingly fast and easy. Overall, the environment just feels so fluid and polished -- definitely a nice change from the clunkiness of Eclipse ADT. Maybe there will be more time spent being productive versus wait times and random bugs. |
