What is Android Studio?

Android Studio is Google's official, free integrated development environment for building Android apps, built on IntelliJ IDEA. It provides an intelligent code editor with completion for Kotlin, Java, and C or C++, a visual layout editor with Jetpack Compose previews, and a Gradle based build system that supports multiple build variants.

Developers get a bundled Android Emulator along with CPU, memory, and network profilers for testing and performance tuning, plus Android Device Streaming for running apps on real hardware remotely. Gemini in Android Studio adds an AI coding assistant that helps generate code, fix bugs, and answer development questions, all without any licensing cost.
