IDEs for developing Android applications

Integrated Development Environment (IDE) makes coding easier by providing a built-in compiler, debugger, syntax highlighting, autocompletion, project layout generation, project structure overviews, unit testing, and an app launcher. The two IDEs used for Android application development are:

  • Android Studio IDE
  • Eclipse IDE

Each IDE has its own advantages. Let's learn about both the IDEs a bit more in detail.
