Android Studio

Android Studio is Google's official integrated development environment for Android app development, built on JetBrains' IntelliJ IDEA platform. It bundles an intelligent code editor for Kotlin, Java, and C/C++ with Jetpack Compose design tools, Live Edit for instant UI previews, and a flexible Gradle-powered build system with a Build Analyzer for diagnosing slow builds. The IDE includes an Android Emulator covering phones, tablets, foldables, Wear OS, TV, and ChromeOS, plus device streaming to test on real hardware directly from the editor. Google has layered Gemini in Android Studio on top, an AI assistant for code generation, bug fixing, and answering Android development questions, and the tool is entirely free to download and use.
