It will remain a free and open Java IDE with full Android support and will include the new features developed by both the Google and JetBrains teams. This doesn’t mean we’re dropping Android support from the IntelliJ Community Edition.

We are sure that it will attract thousands of new developers to the platform and will make Android programming so much more pleasant.

The result of the collaboration is Android Studio, which is available as a preview release today. We worked tightly with Google to help them create the best possible experience for Android developers on top of IntelliJ platform. We are happy to see that our efforts have been recognized by such a respected company as Google. We made our IntelliJ platform open source in 2009 and since then a couple of companies have built their development environments on top of it. Its tons of productivity enhancements, leading code analysis engine and excellent user interface made IntelliJ IDEA stand out among the competition.Īnd we always were open for collaboration. That helped us to get more users with every release.Īt JetBrains we’ve always aimed at creating a solid product that provided the best out-of-the-box experience possible. IntelliJ IDEA had support for Android project for years, we have been paying attention to Android developers’ needs.

We are happy to confirm that Android Studio, the new IDE for Android development that Google is developing in cooperation with JetBrains, is based on the IntelliJ Platform and the existing functionality of IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition.
