Android Studio 1.0 has been released

Posted on December 11, 2014 by CooLMinE No comments

After two years of development Android Studio has finally reached version 1 and is now available to download for everyone.

This is very important news for Android application developers as the development for the ADT plugin for Eclipse seems to have stopped. This means in order to have access to the latest features you will need to migrate to Android Studio. This is hinted at Android Studio’s home page where it says:

If you have been using Eclipse with ADT, be aware that Android Studio is now the official IDE for Android, so you should migrate to Android Studio in order to continue to receive all the latest IDE updates.

Android Studio is available for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux based systems and can be download at https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html.
