Title: Research about Android Studio

Android Studio is the official IDE for Android app development, based on IntelliJ IDEA. On top of IntelliJ's powerful code editor and developer tools, Android Studio offers  even more features that enhance your productivity when building Android apps, such as:

• A flexible Gradle-based build system
• Build variants and multiple APK file generation
• Code templates to help you build common app features
• A rich layout editor with support for drag and drop theme editing
• Lint tools to catch performance, usability, version compatibility, and other problems
• Code shrinking with ProGuard and resource shrinking with Gradle
• Built-in support for Google Cloud Platform , making it easy to integrate Google Cloud Messaging and App Engine

Each project in Android Studio contains one or more modules with source code files and resource files. Different types of modules include:

• Android app modules
• Test modules
• Library modules
• App Engine modules
