[android] Which Eclipse version should I use for an Android app?

If you are just getting into Android, you would be well served by using Android Studio rather than using any version of Eclipse. Android Studio was released in 2013 and provides a nice integrated development environment for developing for Android.

Android Studio is based on IntelliJ, which is a great java devlopment environment. It also has these specific Android features:

  • Gradle-based build support.
  • Android-specific refactoring and quick fixes.
  • Lint tools to catch performance, usability, version compatibility and other problems.
  • ProGuard and app-signing capabilities.
  • Template-based wizards to create common Android designs and components.
  • A rich layout editor that allows you to drag-and-drop UI components, preview layouts on multiple screen configurations, and much more.
