• I don't have those numbers, but I am fairly certain that without Android Studio, we wouldn't be able to achieve our company goals.

Android Studio is a well-known tool that is used to develop apps for android devices and is widely used to develop, test, debug, and deploy Android apps. It has an inbuilt emulator which supports many device models and configurations. It provides a beautiful development environment where we easily develop and deploy working Android apps.

• It supports multiple programming languages, like Java, Kotlin, Dart (Flutter), etc.
• It offers cross-platform support for the easier development.
• It offers auto code completion and refactoring the code, these two are my favorite.

• Android Studio helped us to develop android apps quickly and with better performance.
• Using its emulator, we do not have to test the apps on different devices.
• It has multiple theme options, so better design is possible.

Our company is dedicated to the design and manufacture of electronic equipment connected to the cloud using WiFi or GPRS technology. Being interconnected devices we need to design APPs that can be run on all types of mobile phones and tablets. Although there are different market options to develop ANDROID applications in a simple way, the fact of using the native platform gives us the advantage of having total flexibility in addition to the fact that in the face of new versions of the operating system, ANDROID STUDIO will always be updated. With ANDROID STUDIO we have been able to provide our clients with robust and reliable APPs to manage our equipment remotely.

• Native code.
• Constant updates.

• The APPs developed with ANDROID STUDIO take a long time to develop, however this extra expense is compensated by the low rate of claims that our technical service must attend.
• By working with native code, you do not depend on external library providers and their associated cost.

I use Android Studio as my primary development tool for the Android platform. Having previously used other cross-platform tools, such as Xamarin and Adobe Cordova, I have found that nothing beats native Android apps written using the official IDE for the platform. Google and Jetbrains have poured a lot of time, money, and effort into making this the fastest and easiest way to develop apps on Android.

• Code Analysis tools find bugs before code goes to production
• Hot reload enables rapid change/test functionality to speed up development
• Wide support for Android versions means my apps can continue to be updated for users on older phones and tablets
• Cross platform support for the IDE means I am not tied to one operating system, so can support developers on their favored platform

• The great documentation has meant that I spend less time digging, and more time constructing
• The support for older Android versions has meant that I can continue to support users on older versions, and earn income from them
• The hot reload functionality has reduced development time compared to older versions of Android Studio, and so saved money

We are using Android Studio to develop android apps for internal use and external publication. This is a very standard way to build the packages we are using, and it allows us to do all the things we want to do, such as code signing, apk verification, standard and debug builds, etc.

• automated code signing
• ease of use
• standard
• community support

• we don't have to hunt around for people who know it, every mobile app developer already does
