Android Studio Electric eel is the latest version of the popular Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for Android app development. It comes with a host of new features and improvements that make it easier and more efficient to develop high-quality Android apps.

Some of the things I like about Electric eel include:

  • Improved layout editor: The new layout editor makes it easier to design user interfaces for your app by providing a more intuitive drag-and-drop interface. This means you can quickly create complex layouts without having to write any code.
  • Faster and more accurate code completion: Electric eel’s code completion is faster and more accurate than ever before, making it easier to write code quickly and with fewer errors.
  • Improved navigation: The improved navigation makes it easier to find your way around large codebases.
  • New lint checks: Electric eel includes new lint checks that help you catch common coding mistakes before they become problems.
  • Better support for Kotlin: Electric eel has improved support for Kotlin, making it easier to develop apps using this popular language.
  • Updates to Logcat: In Android Studio Electric Eel, the new version of Logcat is enabled by default to make it easier to parse, query, and keep track of logs.

Overall, Android Studio Electric eel is a great tool for Android app development. Its new features and improvements make it easier and more efficient to develop high-quality apps, which is why I like it so much.

Thank you for taking the time to read this article. If you’re an Android developer, I highly recommend giving Electric eel a try and seeing for yourself how it can improve your development workflow.
