  1. With over 2 billion monthly active users, Android remains the

    largest mobile operating system in the world and new Android app development will only continue to fuel that growth even further in coming years. Unfortunately, there’s also quite a bit of competition in this market, especially when it comes to development tools. To help you get started on the right foot, we’ve compiled this list of best Android development tools in 2022 and beyond.
  2. Different Categories of Android App Development Tools are Android Editors

    Cross Platform framework Open Source Android Performance Tools Android Debugging Tools
  3. Best Android Editors Android Studio is one of the powerful

    top Android (IDE) that contains a set of tools to create Android apps. It can be used as an alternative to Eclipse or other Java-based IDEs. Not only does it allow developers to write, test and debug applications, but it also enables them to manage Android device configurations and develop user interfaces using its GUI designer. Moreover, it allows you to use Google services with your apps by bundling them into your projects. It’s free and open source. 1. Android Studio
  4. Best Android Editors Initially designed as a simple Android code

    editor, AIDE has evolved into a solid piece of software development kit with features like smart code completion, life error checking, refactoring, code navigation, and much more. Although not an IDE (as it doesn’t provide compiling or debugging facilities), AIDE is a good choice if you need to write complex Android applications. It is compatible with Dropbox and Git integration, Eclipse & Android Studio. 2. AIDE
  5. Best Android Editors The success of B4A, an Android app

    development environment that enables users to create customized apps without needing to have coding knowledge, is made possible by its uncomplicated drag-and-drop interface and wide array of features. An Android usage tool with a strong community backing, B4A has garnered notable appreciation for its simple but powerful features such as XML parsing, JSON, Animations, and much more. 3. B4A
  6. Best Cross-Platform Framework Although many developers use React Native, its

    usage is highest in Android app development. While it’s mostly known as a framework for building user interfaces (UI), JavaScript’s syntax enables a developer to perform any task in any programming language, including Java and Kotlin. And while performance may vary based on how one builds their app, there are many reports of near-native performance with React Native; often much closer than other cross- platform frameworks. 4. React Native
  7. Best Cross-Platform Framework Google Flutter is a mobile app development

    framework created by Google. It enables you to build native apps that work across iOS and Android with no code-reuse required, using only Dart language. Flutter eliminates platform- specific coding languages and tools while enabling real-time UI development through its reactive framework. Moreover, it’s comparatively faster than other alternative frameworks such as React Native. If you’re planning to develop an Android app next year, take a look at Flutter. 5. Flutter
  8. Best Cross-Platform Framework The biggest advantage Ionic has over React

    Native and Flutter is that it is a hybrid app development solution, which means that it can use native Android development tools and integrate with a large range of third-party solutions like Google Maps or Stripe. Like React Native, Ionic allows developers to build mobile apps in HTML5 and Javascript — but you still get most of the benefits associated with cross- platform development as well. The framework supports multi-touch gestures and has access to native device features via plugins like AdMob. 6. Ionic
  9. Open source Git hub is one of those Android app

    development solutions that pretty much every coder uses. It’s well known in the industry, meaning it’s got a huge network of people you can connect with to collaborate or simply share and download code snippets. With over 20 million developers signed up and thousands of code repositories uploaded each day, Github is truly an Android app development super tool. 7. GitHub
  10. Open source The prominent contender in our list of Android

    app development tools is IntelliJ IDEA, developed by JetBrains. This software provides users with a comprehensive toolkit designed to boost developer productivity. It offers support for almost every coding language and comes equipped with a wide range of intelligent features, such as code navigation and navigation, automatic formatting, smart completion, refactoring assistance and more. 8. IntelliJ IDEA
  11. Android Performance Tools JMeter is an Apache project that was

    developed to test functional behavior and measure performance. It runs on multiple platforms, including Linux, Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, and Solaris. JMeter can generate a variety of workloads and supports protocols such as Web Services (SOAP/XML-RPC), Database (JDBC/SQL), LDAP, FTP(S), and others. JMeter includes more than 200 samplers to choose from which run in parallel. 9. Apache JMeter
  12. Android Performance Tools With Google constantly updating Android, it’s crucial

    to make sure your app will perform optimally. The Android Profiler offers a variety of tools that can tell you just how well your app is performing. From graphical profiling views to data logs, you’ll get all kinds of info on how your app runs on various devices and under different conditions. In addition, it can also help diagnose issues with CPU and memory usage. 10. The Android Profiler
  13. Conclusion Choosing Android app development tools is getting more and

    more important every day. There are literally hundreds of available Android app development solutions out there, from just a couple that work well enough to dozens of robust alternatives. If you are planning to hire an Android app developer, then make sure a programmer should stay updated with lots of cool features and a polished UI, and make sure to pick the right set of tools.
