  • IntelliJ IDEA
The most important tool for a developer is an IDE. The IntelliJ IDEA is one of them, which is ignored by many Java developers who use Eclipse, but it offers a lot more, and you can learn it to further improve your productivity if you happen to know Eclipse already.

• IntelliJ:-  https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/

Thanks, Danijel Ivanović

Answer 4

You must pick a language you love and are good at. Our opinion doesn't really matter. The two best choices are Java and Kotlin as they both can do everything needed. In my case, I don't like Java as it is too restrictive after decades of C++ so I'm going with Kotlin. I love Kotlin so much it knocked C++ out of my top favorite language spot it held for 33 years.

Answer 5

Thank you , John. I will take that to heart

Answer 6

Николай Шаповаленко they can all be used. But, their design fits only some of the programmers. Others must fight their way with it.

I'm even used Intellij for Python. Having one IDE you are an expert in is best. I'm hoping they will support C/C++ soon.

Answer 7

Николай Шаповаленко 👍
You are welcome! 😊

Answer 8

Mark better is subjective. C# doesn't make it to my top 5 languages, but could easily be your #1. It is not as general purpose as I'd like to see, but for developing Windows apps it is awesome. Depends on your goals.

Answer 9

For Android better use Android studio, in this java an kotlin are built-in. (Looks like no choice to other). But you can use c++, python+kivy/pyQt also.
For my mind it more depend, from that is more easy and understandingly for you.

Answer 10

Mark try this also, https://www.sololearn.com/Discuss/823823/?ref=app

Answer 11

John Wells yes, Sir. With my experience (netbeans, eclipse, intellij) i can only agree with you. Only intellij IDEA, pyCharm and pyScripter makes me feel good in programming. (Maybe i can't cooking other?)

Answer 12

Николай Шаповаленко I find Intellij easier to use for Android development over Android Studio. The fact that they developed Kotlin is an added benefit, as that is my language choice.

Of course, as in all things in life, better is in the eyes of the beholder so your easier usage may not be the same tools as mine. I suggest trying them all like I did and picking the one that best fits you.

None are going to be perfect for you, unless you develop it. But, I felt I was fighting Android Studio at times, where Intellij just had weird places to hide the stuff I was wanting.

Answer 13

Intellij seems very versatile, John.

Answer 14

Is Kotlin better than C#, sir?

Answer 15

Hukonan, that is what I will begin with. Thank you

Answer 16

Java and Kotlin are the best for Android apps. Pick one of them.

Answer 17

Mark you should definitely try it. As to liking and keeping it, I make no promises. However, I tried it because of a web search on best IDEs and finding many posts that had it listed so it is a popular choice.

Answer 18

I will ,John. Thank you. Aalways open to better possibilities.

Answer 19

More suggestions will be appreciated guys....

Answer 20

mastering the C setups will cover just about everything, most android apps may use Java as its easier to do really but android OS is based on linux kernel which is written mostly in C. OS has to talk to the hardware and almost all drivers are written in C/C++ therefore even the android OS had to be written in this. Therein lays a clue to where the mother languages power is
