If you are an app builder, and you are looking for an integrated development environment (IDE) optimized for Android apps, Android Studio is definitely what you need. The Java-based technology provides the perfect environment for developers to design, build, run as well as test their Andriod apps.
From a Gradle-based build system that is flexible, to an optimized environment where you can develop apps for all Android devices, Andriod studio’s excellent features include:
- Optimized Gradle-based build support.
- Reliable Built-in support for Google Cloud Platform enabling integration with Firebase Cloud Messaging (Earlier ‘Google Cloud Messaging’) and Google App Engine.
- Amazing UI components are created by drag-and-drop features in the layout editor.
- A lot of common Android designs and components can be created by Template-based wizards.
- A long list of Lint tools to catch performance, usefulness, version compatibility, and other problems.
The good news is you can download and install it on windows or your MAC. Scroll up to find out how.
To download and install Andriod Studio on windows or your MAC, your system must have at least 4 GB RAM and 2GB available disk space. Once your system has the following requirements to run the app, you can proceed to download it from the Android Studio official page.
System Requirements:

Once your system has met the requirements, visit the official website of Android Studio on your web browser. After that, hit the download button to download the app.
