Android Studio is a new Android development environment based
on IntelliJ IDEA. It provides new features and improvements over
Eclipse ADT and will be the official Android IDE once it's
ready.
On top of the capabilities you expect from IntelliJ,
Android Studio offers:
- Flexible Gradle-based build system.
- Build variants and multiple APK generation.
- Expanded template support for Google Services and various
device types.
- Rich layout editor with support for theme editing.
- Lint tools to catch performance, usability, version
compatibility, and other problems.
- ProGuard and app-signing capabilities.
- Built-in support for Google Cloud Platform, making it easy
to integrate Google Cloud Messaging and App Engine.
After having installed this package, run Android Studio with:
android-studio
The application would ask you for Java JDK, which is needed to
use it effectively; if you have JavaJDK installed it could be
in /usr/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}/java
