In the past days, you had confused than ever between one group of Eclipse and ADT choice (Android Developer Tools) Assistant, or Android official studio, which is based on IntelliJ platform – for Java-based IDE.įortunately, I experienced a recurrence of the recent streamlining the process a bit with only one version, called Android Studio. While applications may have higher revenue numbers in Apple’s App Store, and download numbers are much higher with Google play, which makes it an exciting platform to test and adjust the free app before launching a premium version or freemium.
