Android Studio

Android Studio is an IDE used for developing android apps, which is officially supported by Google. It is based on IntelliJ IDEA that offers a powerful code editor and developer tools. It is an integrated development environment for Google's Android platform.

Android Studio uses a Gradle-based build system, emulator, code templates, and Github integration for supporting application development within the android operating system. Every project in Android Studio has one or more than one modalities with source code and resource files. These modalities include Library modules, Android app modules, and Google App Engine modules.
