At the time this book is being written, Jetbrains is developing a new release of IntelliJ. The new version will show improvements mainly in Android development. If you don't know, IntelliJ IDEA is the base of Android Studio, an IDE focused exclusively on Android applications development. The new features and facilities that are present at this time, in Android Studio will be available in IntelliJ IDEA 13, with the addition of other tools and features already present in this IDE. We can highlight some features that will probably be present in the next release:
- Support for importing the configuration of Android projects from
build.gradleand building them through Gradle - External annotations (
@Nullable,@MagicConstant) for Android APIs - Folding of Android string resources in the Java editor to display the actual string value
- Many new Lint Checks
- Initial support for editing the RenderScript code
- Support for working with fragment resources
- Support for control variations in the palette (for example, multiple variations of TextField with different default settings)
- Integrated 9-patch editor
- New UI for viewing the list of connected devices in the Android Tool Window
