A first look at Google’s new IDE Android Studio

 

So, it is now available for download, although the version is 0.1, so expect some warts!  Oh, the “it” in question is Google’s new IDE for Android development based on IntelliJ by Jetbrains, a developer I am a huge fan of.

 

Now I am going to take a tour of the IDE.

I experienced no crashes, everything was very intuitive and quick, other than initial loading.  I’m initially quite impressed.  IF you are wondering, this IDE *ONLY* works for Android projects.
