Android Studio vs. Sencha

Android Studio is the only platform you should consider for Android development. I have found that nothing else comes close in terms of documentation or support. There is always the temptation to develop for Android using a cross platform toolkit, such as Xamarin, but unless your app is incredibly simple, you will find your self wrestling with the toolkit more than actually creating your product. If you have any Android projects still in Eclipse, you should upgrade these to Android Studio - the backwards compatibility for older versions of Android is very good, with issues only occurring with debugging on older (Lollipop or below) devices. The only scenario Android Studio is not suitable for is cross-platform development. There is no way to share code between iOS, macOS, or Windows projects with Android Studio, unless you are developing a game in C++. If you wish to develop cross platform mobile apps, I suggest Microsoft Visual Studio.

Sencha is suited for:

• Enterprise applications that are really huge
• Development happens on huge teams, on-shore an offshore model, one can divide and conquer by splitting in modules easily
• Budget is not a constraint

It's not uited for:

• Small budget applications
• Not too many components are needed
• Static or less dynamic content based websites
• Turnaround time is shorter and developers have to spin something around in a short duration of time

• It boots up very fast as compared to other development IDEs.
• It is not a memory hungry IDE.

• Debugging is not that great, it can show some specific details for a better understanding of the issue.
• It is a RAM eater tool, its hard to do multitask along with the android studio.
• Sometimes after updating the android studio, we have to face so many random issues with the SDK or codes.

• More default themes
• Biggest community

It has improved over the versions, and it continues to do so. I have no problems using Android Studio and I think that it's quite a user-friendly software.

The support of the community is very good. You can find many solutions on sites like StackOverflow and Brazilian sites like GUJ, for example. Google documentation about Android Studio is very good too. I have some Android developer friends, so they have the knowledge to support me when I need it.

I am primarily a Java developer so many of the IDEs I have used are specifically made for Java development. I have used IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse, and NetBeans for Java development but Android Studio is far better for Android development specifically and it also has support for things like Flutter development. VS Code is quickly becoming popular across languages but Android Studio is still at the top in my opinion.

The main reason we chose Sencha is it’s full stack solution. We have an integrated backend that solves a lot of the infrastructure issues and Sencha was the only tool in the market that has only one library full of components. It is not fashionable to use it, as developers always love new technologies, but Sencha is the best for business applications and has a lot of useful tools.
