With the upsurge of Eclipse, people are scrambling to discuss the problem based on IntelliJ.
Can Android Studio completely replace Eclipse? Why impress developers and abandon Eclipse?
Google I/O 20 13 developer conference has made many people look forward to it. Personally, every time I hold Google I/O, I always feel that I have lived in vain. As a result, someone despised me and said, "You have lived for so many years in vain and still care about this year?" Compared with the past and present, as stated in the article "Google I/O Conference Return to the Origin, Pay Attention to Developers: Launch the Latest Development Tools for Android Studio", hardware became the absolute protagonist at last year's I/O Conference, and developers from afar seemed to become insignificant spectators. This inevitably makes developers a little lonely. So this morning (09:28 local time), shortly after the opening ceremony, Google took out the latest Android Studio development tool specially prepared for Android developers, and the scene was cheered. Obviously, this is what developers expect.
After the release of Android Studio, there has been an upsurge of Android Studio PK Eclipse at home and abroad, and people are scrambling to discuss how to treat Android Studio launched on Google I/O? Can it completely replace Eclipse? To this end, my sister sorted out the relevant information at home and abroad to see what charm Android Studio has, which can convince developers to abandon Eclipse unexpectedly overnight.
Explain Android Studio in detail.
Android Studio is a brand-new Android development environment based on IntelliJ IDEA. Similar to Eclipse ADT plug-in, Android Studio provides an integrated Android development tool for development and debugging.
In addition to IntelliJ features, Android Studio also provides:
Construction support based on Gradle;
Android-specific reconstruction and quick repair;
Prompting tools can better control and capture the performance, usability, version compatibility and other issues of the program;
Support the signature function of programs and applications;
With its own layout editor, you can drag and drop UI components, preview layouts on multiple screen configurations, and so on.
Although Android Studio quickly won the favor of Android developers once it was launched, it is a pity that Android is currently
Studio has not been fully developed, and it is inevitable that some bugs will be encountered during use. However, when Google I/O demonstrates its functions on the spot, it is done directly in the form of code. IDE can check the coding situation, directly view the color coding, and preview the layout of devices with different sizes-whether it is a 3.7-inch telephone device or a 10-inch tablet device. IDE can even preview typesetting in different languages, so as to test whether typesetting overflow will occur in different international product environments.
Who can't be impressed by such a powerful demonstration function? It is this that makes Android Studio the focus of hot discussion on Weibo WeChat QQ. Developers can download Android Studio directly from the Android developer page. If you are not used to using semi-finished products, you can download or continue to use ADT Bundle.
Developers have something to say: Eclipse is out of date and we need Android Studio.
Google's launch of Android Studio has aroused great praise from developers, and the industry generally believes that it is wise for Google to turn to the IDE based on IntelliJ. Because, as Dermot Daly, the founder of Tapadoo, said, a large number of Java developers think that Eclipse is outdated and can no longer meet their application development needs. Next, let's listen to hacker news and the voices of many developers in Zhihu.
Davesims: I have to admit that IntelliJ IDEA 12 supports Android far better than Eclipse, except for the better Java IDE. I'm curious now. What's the difference between Android Studio based on IntelliJ? I think it may be similar to the difference between RubyMine in JetBrains and Ruby/Rails plug-in in IntelliJ. The overall function is the same, but it has better UX integration in the domain.
Cookiecaper: I have to use Eclipse due to external project pressure. I don't like it at all because it is huge and difficult. Far from simplifying my work, it is very slow to start or use. If I want to enter a project, I have to copy the project file manually and then edit it manually, because Eclipse is too slow to create a simple folder in the file system. The UI is very slow, which means loading is very slow, and even switching from the Debug window to the Code window is very slow. Generally speaking, a slow word is not enough. I really hope IntelliJ can be better.
Airlocksoftware: I have been developing Android applications for several years. On my computer, Eclipse has degenerated to the point where building and running an application will make it stagnate in a short time. So I gave up Eclipse and switched to IntelliJ. So far, I feel good and react quickly. However, IntelliJ also has some shortcomings, such as poor layout preview, so I was very excited when I heard the news that the Google Android team turned to build IntelliJ.
Tan Chao: For me (an iOS+Android developer), this is undoubtedly the highlight that excites me the most. This not only shows that Google is beginning to break away from the status quo.
The Eclipse camp also expressed Google's commitment to maintain its IDE.
Bill Cheng: In any case, it was re-developed on the basis of the IntelliJ IDEA open source project. As far as the current Android Studio is concerned, it is still doing very well, at least much better than Eclipse. However, it is still too early to define it, until the version number reaches 1.0.
Rlei:IntelliJ itself is not just a little bit easy to use, but many, many, and it has a very good reputation in the Java programmer community and has been used by many people from the beginning. This time, Google simply built a free special edition of Android Studio based on IntelliJ, which finally made me reluctant to pay for it, and also cheered for the code farmers who will use Eclipse for a long time.
