Google launched an early access preview of Android Studio, an integrated development environment (IDE) for Android based on IntelliJ IDEA. This one-stop shop for coding, compiling, and testing includes all the standard Android SDK tools, plus build support, quick fixes, tools to catch major coding flaws, and a preview window.


The Android Developer Tools session at Google I/O went into massive detail on the new project. One of the cooler features of Android Studio is the multi-talented preview window, which shows your code running on mock-ups of most of the standard Nexus devices in a real-time layout.

Android is more than simply a phone or tablet. It’s a platform, an ecosystem, and an opportunity for developers around the world to build exciting services and apps that reach millions of people every day. The flexibility and openness of Android provides developers--and Google, through services like Google Now the opportunity to build simple, beautiful experiences across multiple devices.
