Android Studio is now the new officially supported Android IDE, in place of Eclipse. It comes with Gradle, which is the new official Android build system. Gradle introduces a Groovy-based specific language to define the project configuration easily.

Note
The resulting project is provided with this book under the name Store_Gradle_Auto.
