Imagine you just bought a new car. After enjoying a whiff of the new-car smell, the first thing you do is adjust your seat and mirrors just the way you like them. In the same way, you should also adjust the IDE settings depending on your needs. This lesson will guide you through some of the most commonly used features and settings of Android Studio so that you can custom fit your developer experience.
Android Studio contains plugins designed to streamline development workflows, provide additional tools, and support integration with third-party services. Think of these plugins as the extra features you want to add to your new car. It’s essential to be selective when choosing plugins because you need to make sure they align with your development needs and are compatible with your Android Studio version.
Understanding your IDE’s abilities will equip you with the tools necessary to be a successful Android developer. This lesson will take you through a tour of some basic tools within Android Studio.
Grab your keys and buckle up for a tour of Android Studio.
