Which Android IDE is better - Android Studio or Eclipse? [closed]

I'm starting to develop for Android. Which IDE should I use - Android Studio or Eclipse sdk? I would like to know which one is better.


Solution 1:

Working with Eclipse can be difficult at times, probably when debugging and designing layouts Eclipse sometimes get stuck and we have to restart Eclipse from time to time. Also you get problems with emulators.

Android studio was released very recently and this IDE is not yet heavily used by developers. Therefore, it may contain certain bugs.

This describes the difference between android android studio and eclipse project structure: Android Studio Project Structure (v.s. Eclipse Project Structure)

This teaches you how to use the android studio: http://www.infinum.co/the-capsized-eight/articles/android-studio-vs-eclipse-1-0

Solution 2:

The use of IDE is your personal preference. But personally if I had to choose, Eclipse is a widely known, trusted and certainly offers more features then Android Studio. Android Studio is a little new right now. May be it's upcoming versions keep up to Eclipse level soon.
