Build Android Applications with Confidence

July 3, 2026
IDEs with Android support simplify the development of mobile applications by providing integrated tools for coding, testing and deployment.

Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) that include support for the Android framework help developers build applications for phones, tablets and other Android-powered devices using a single, integrated workspace. By providing project templates, intelligent code editing, debugging tools and deployment options designed for Android development, these IDEs reduce the effort required to create and maintain mobile applications. Support for the Android Software Development Kit (SDK), emulators and modern programming languages helps development teams deliver reliable Android applications while working with the latest platform capabilities.

Several Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) contain support for the Android framework including:

  • IntelliJ IDEA by JetBrains lets you develop Android applications efficiently with intelligent coding, debugging, refactoring, Gradle integration and Kotlin support built in.
  • RemObjects Elements allows you to build Android applications using multiple languages and shared code across platforms seamlessly together efficiently today.
  • Microsoft Visual Studio Professional facilitates Android development through integrated debugging, designers, emulators, deployment tools and cross-platform project management capabilities throughout.
