  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

During this chapter, we will take a look at how the Android Studio development environment and platform works. Android OS has moved away from using the Eclipse Integrated Development Environment (IDE) with Android Development Tools (ADT), and as of 64-bit Android 5.0 and later, has adopted the IntelliJ IDEA (Integrated Development Environment Application). We installed IntelliJ as part of Android Studio 2.3 in the previous chapter, and have already used some of its configuration tools and dialogs, such as the SDK Manager, to configure it for basic Android application development usage.
