Overview
Android Studio for Mac is a popular software development environment (also known as integrated development environment) that enables programmers and engenders from all around the world direct access to the tools for coding, debugging, performance optimizing, version compatibility checking, hardware compatibility checking (various android devices and screen size, including tablets), and many other tools that can help developers to better automate process of coding and enable quicker iteration and discovery. The tool features all of those tools, including many that can help programmers to easily create their Android-based project from conception to final distribution.

Interface of Android Studio for macOS is very modern and interactive, enabling users to easily modify their UI by dragging and dropping components and preview windows, with full support for working in multi-monitor environments.
With perfect Android emulation on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux and fully integrated support for Google Cloud Platform, the app represents the best SDE package that you can find today for making apps for Android devices.
Features and Highlights
Intelligent code editor
At the core of Android Studio for Mac is an intelligent code editor capable of advanced code completion, refactoring, and code analysis. The powerful code editor helps you be a more productive Android app developer.
Code templates and GitHub integration
New project wizards make it easier than ever to start a new project. Start projects using template code for patterns such as navigation drawer and view pagers, and even import Google code samples from GitHub.
Multi-screen app development
Build apps for Android phones, tablets, Android Wear, Android TV, Android Auto and Google Glass. With the new Android Project View and module support in the program, it's easier to manage app projects and resources.
Virtual devices for all shapes and sizes
The tool comes pre-configured with an optimized emulator image. The updated and streamlined Virtual Device Manager provides pre-defined device profiles for common Android devices.
Android builds evolved, with Gradle
