The Android Studio logo, representing the development environment for Android apps, depicts a blue drawing compass on a white badge with a wavy edge. Its two long legs spread out towards the bottom and meet at a dark circular hinge with a white centre at the top. A blue arc runs between the legs. The green Android robot head peeks out from behind the tool on the right, with antennae and dark eyes. Blue gradients, highlights and subtle shadows give the compass a three-dimensional appearance.
Android Studio is Google's official development environment for building Android apps. It brings together a code editor, build tools, a device emulator and tools for checking how an application works. Developers can create interfaces, run apps on virtual devices of different form factors and analyse their behaviour. The integrated Gemini assistant answers development questions, helps write code and troubleshoot errors. The environment supports the workflow from creating a project through testing to preparing an app for release. Designed for the Android ecosystem, Android Studio is used by millions of app and game developers.
