Android Studio and SDK tools

Android Studio is the official application development environment for the respective operating system, designed to replace Eclipse. The latter, by the way, is currently the most popular tool in the circle of Android developers. The development process in the Android Studio environment has become even more flexible than that of the main competitor. This is achieved by displaying all the worker files directly in the project structure. The ability to see all visual changes of the project in real time is also extremely useful. This SDK also provides an opportunity to test the work of a future application on different devices. In the built-in emulator Android devices, you can set a variety of technical configurations and screen resolution for the test. In addition, when using emulation, it is possible to obtain information on the approximate level of performance for a particular device. Android Studio includes innovative tools for packaging and labeling code that will help not to get lost in an extensive project. Also in the program, the Drag-n-Drop function is implemented, which allows dragging project components right in the development environment window. To realize the possibility of sending future push notifications to the application, there is a special tool in the Android Studio package called Google Cloud Messaging. This SDK also greatly simplifies the process of localizing applications.
