Installed Android Studio

Is it an add in for Eclipse or its own IDE?

It's a stand alone IDE made by Google for Android development.

They released it in May, not Eclipse, based on IDEA I guess. "Android Studio is a new Android development environment based on IntelliJ IDEA. Similar to Eclipse with the ADT Plugin, Android Studio provides integrated Android developer tools for development and debugging." http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/studio.html[^] It sits there at like 400Mb, with the emulator going, I'm almost maxed out.

sounds interesting, will have to check it out. I am finding the eclipse plugin rather slow especially in debug mode. There is a noticeable delay when stepping over code and "Quick Watch" on variables is not that quick

It should have more or less the same footprint as devenv.exe, I run Android Studio all the I've just opened to a large project (over 15 activities) and it weighs in the same a Vis Studio 2012.

Does it still involve using J*v*? :~

NormDroid

Yep an Java is easy as pie, Java, c# all the same to me only slight differences in syntax, got to admit the android framework is good.

I've only lately come to the conclusion that I'm basically language agnostic in my thinking, especially between what I'd call the big 3; C#, C++, Java. I want to get into Mobile, and don't really care about the language I'll use (C would be new to me though).

I couldn't really provide any benchmark as I'm just getting into it. I assume if Google created it for this specific purpose, it would be the best performing IDE, just an assumption of course.

Some are at least glad that it doesn't run on the JRE :laugh:

The footprint, for me at least, is larger by 2. Giving the emulator realistic RAM is what sets me to slowtown, though. You know how I keep 15 projects open in VS without noticing a hit in memory? Remote desktop to my work computer. I do run VS Express on my laptop for personal coding, too.

I installed it a few weeks back. Started a "hello world" app to compare with Eclipse development, but ran into some configuration issue (e.g., library reference, package). I was out of time after that so I have not revisited it. Looks to have potential, though.

I really need more RAM

Nope: no hardware could run such a bloated software. Sorry, I supposed it was based on Eclipse.
