Android Studio is the official IDE for writing Android software. It bundles together a source code editor based on IntelliJ IDEA, the Gradle build tool, and the Android SDK. It is available for download on Windows, macOS and Linux based operating systems. ChromeOS is also supported via a Linux virtual machine, while Googlebook OS, Google's own newest desktop operating system, isn't supported at all. Each component provided with Android Studio is licensed under its own terms. Aside from the SDK, most of the components are distributed under the Apache License. Android Studio was announced on May 16, 2013, at the Google I/O conference. It was in early access preview stage starting from version 0.1 in May 2013, then entered beta stage starting from version 0.8 which was released in June 20141. The first stable build was released in December 2014, starting from version 1.0. At the end of 2015, Google dropped support for Eclipse ADT, making Android Studio the only officially supported IDE for Android development. On May 7, 2019, Kotlin replaced Java as Google's preferred language for Android app development. Java is still supported, as is C++.
