On Monday, December 8, Google officially announced the availability of Android Studio 1.0 via its Android Developers blog.
The launch of Android Studio 1.0 sees a stable development tool for developers who want to take a crack at building apps for Google’s mobile operating system. Of course, for the devs that are already building apps for Android, the 1.0 launch of Studio will see a markedly improved way to keep apps maintained from here on out. It should make developing them easier, too.
With Android Studio 1.0, developers have instant access to the range of cloud-based services from Google, including Cloud Messaging and easy access to Google Cloud Backends and Endpoints that can be easily installed into apps. Here’s the basic breakdown that devs can expect to find in Android Studio 1.0:
- Flexible Gradle-based build system
- Build variants and multiple apk file generation
- Code templates to help you build common app features
- Rich layout editor with support for drag and drop 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
- And much more
