Obviously there are many more points to touch on with each code editor but probably would take a bit more than a post to get to every point…Īll in all, my personal preference will always be IntelliJ. Microsoft Visual Studio Code (VS) requires a lot of textual configuration, where IntelliJ IDEA provides a graphical interface with configuration.

INTELLIJ VS VSCODE FOR ANDROID
My choice was obvious at the time as I really didn’t want to be stuck behind. Follow the steps below to add an editor plugin for Android Studio, IntelliJ, VS Code, or Emacs. I gave VSCode all of one day to get it set up for Java usage but Lambdas curriculum showed examples using IntelliJ. When I started out learning Java at Lambda, we could have used VSCode or used our student pack for a free year of IntelliJ IDEA.
