Android Studio Description

Android Studio is the fastest tool for building apps on any Android device. ConstraintLayout allows you to create complex layouts by linking constraints from one view to another view or following guidelines. You can then preview your layout on any screen size by choosing one of the various device configurations, or simply resizing it. You can find ways to reduce the size of your Android app by inspecting its APK file. Examine the resources, manifest, and DEX files. Compare two APKs to compare how the app size has changed between versions. You can install and run your apps quicker than on a physical device. You can also simulate different configurations and features using ARCore, Google’s platform for building augmented realities experiences. Intelligent code editors provide code completion for Java, C/C++, and Kotlin languages. This allows you to write better code and work faster.

First, it can be slow to start up, and it can be slow to open large projects. Second, it can be a bit buggy at times. I have had it crash on me a few times, and I have had it freeze up on me a few times. Lastly, I don't like the fact that it is based on IntelliJ, which is a Java IDE. I am not a fan of Java, so I don't like that Android Studio is based on a Java IDE.
