Any experienced feedback is appreciated if its worth using Android Studio over Eclipse.
Ofcourse Eclipse comfort the comfort zone in setting up all the stuff required to make the app with wonderful editor.
I have lots of things to move from eclipse to Studio. So wanted to have some overview from someone who has found out the difference.
I was the biggest defender of Eclipse ever… for March I had to make something in Android Studio and stayed. Eclipse is a shit for me now.
Difference:
-gradle system, it’s really cool, if you want to import for example google play services, you can do it with ONE code line, Android Studio will download library from internet, the same ad networks libraries, still networks demands downloading jar but it’s going to change in future, I saw networks when you need to write one code line and studio is going to download library from ad network server
-same… github libraries, enter integration code line and done, everything downloaded and connected with your project^^
-editor is filling code
example
button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener) and studio finish code for you, not only listeners ofcourse^^
-build flavours, generate unlimited apk versions (different resources, code, manifests, etc.) from one project
In Eclipse you cannot use new material design features so easily or you cannot use them ever.
Do you have somewhere a list of shortcuts in studio? For example in eclipse i used alt+shift+n to create new file and much more… In studio some of them are different and i can’t find a list with them
Hey. I used it. (I assure you mean app2top?). For me it’s working ok. Of course it will not give you top100 ranking with just a few dollars. I use them to boost my ratings. They just install your app and rate it without opening, so you don’t have retention. But you will get higher ratings, so it may have impact on keyword rankings etc.
I think it’s worth trying in a good app. Don’t bother to use them in shit apps. If you made a nice app and you want to increase ratings - use them. You can fully customize comment texts and everything.
If you are not registered - you can use my link in signature. I personally got installs and reviews from other source (I got a private offer and i pay way more than in app2top, but app is launched and least 1 time and it better boost app in top list)
For me it’s useless because got couple bans 1 hour after pushing some 50 reviews Before I was using it with success, now for me it’s risky. Problem is that app is not opening even once.
It takes some time to get used to android studio but its totally worth it, they have faster emulators, nice extensions, and the dark Dracula theme is also great.
May be one project at a time is to avoid long time to load the IDE and almost aame time to save the workspace before exiting. Moreover during load process eclipse takes almost 2-3 minutes to build or compile all the projects in workspace.

True, Eclipse takes lot of time first time to load the android sdk’s, Building projects etc.
For that reason only I upgraded to 12GB RAM and not shutting down laptop (just making it sleep and wake)
Gradle, Instant Run and Material design is attractive in AS but that is not something that I really need.
Since my existing apps are already configured in eclipse so I am cool with Eclipse. Only if AS had support for multiple projects, i would immediately switch to AS
