What is the best IDE for java development on mac OSX?
Ive been using Sublime text for all of my web based programming and i´m wondering wich IDE is the best one to use while programming apps for android.
I prefer Android Studio. Its a new Android development environment based on IntelliJ IDEA. It is Similar to Eclipse with the ADT Plugin.
Android Studio is the Google's recommended IDE for Android development.
Android Studio is the official IDE for Android application
development, based on IntelliJ IDEA.
See here: http://developer.android.com/tools/studio/index.html
It used to be the Eclipse based Android Development Tools (ADT).
IntelliJ is now the official IDE for android development.

You can use http://netbeans.org/ or http://www.eclipse.org/. Both work on a Mac.
I prefer Eclipse over Netbeans.

I'm using Android studio and gradle to build apk and perform regression testing. I'm supposed to explore ways of integrating ReportPortal to the android project for generating reports. However I didn't find Android Platform listed in https://reportportal.io/installation
I'm open to suggestions about trying out other reporting tools for android studio as well.
Report Portal supports Android testing for JUnit 5 only. You can find corresponding agent and installation instructions in 'agent-android' project: https://github.com/reportportal/agent-android
But I personally recommend to start from our examples:
Kotlin: https://github.com/reportportal/android-kotlin-example
Java: https://github.com/reportportal/android-java-example

I was planning to learn dart for building android applications. But being quite comfortable with java, I am a little skeptical about learning a new language. Does dart offers any advantages over java or it's just an alternative to java just like kotlin.
Dart is a programming language used by flutter, flutter is used to create cross-platform apps (for android & ios).
If your plan is to only create apps for android only you should definitely go with java, it will run and look better in almost every way.
(for more about the differences between java and flutter here is a link: https://www.javatpoint.com/flutter-vs-java, I also suggest you look it up...)
If you want to create a small app for both android and ios, you should probably go with flutter, I say small because larger projects will almost always work better with the native languge.
To sum up, if you want to build an android app, you should use the android native language - java / kotlin, if you want to build a small app for both android & ios, you should use flutter.

i want to start Android Developing. I Can Use c# or Java to start for Android
Developing.
I am a .NET developer.
My Question is which language is better for android programming. which limitation these language have?
what is their power in android programming?Can I develop full apps in .NET without learning java?
You can use Xamarin if you want to develop mobile apps with c#. However, when I ask mobile developers, they prefer to write native apps.
With Xamarin you will have the option of using VS which I think is very good, but you have to consider that it is usable for develop both Android and IOS apps. You have to consider performance and size of the app.
I have to add that Xamarin is now free if you have Visual Studio 2015
So my advice in total would be:
If you need only Android or IOS: go with native
If you need both Android and IOS and it is a small company or if the budget is limited, then go with Xamarin
If not again go with native
There is also a project called Apache Cordova which will do the same using javascript

I have recently started to enjoy Android development and I have some projects that I want to develop.
I usually develop with IntelliJ and my recent sdk target was 21. I noticed there are several things that I have missed such as Maven, Gradle, maybe using a lower sdk target and Asynctasks.
So my question is how to I start with a good Android project? How do I use Graddle or Maven? and what sdk target should be the minimum in 2015 according to you guys?
Basically what should I do or think about when I'm developing in Android?
I think you are not compel to use Gradle as newbie because it's the build system of android studio ,and it will generated automatically. so you have no work to do with it directly as a beginner.
and for what min sdk , for now u can set it as ICS4.0 (API 14) because in this case your app will targeting more than ~ 87% of users.
-my opinion is to leave this side things, and focus on main programing stuff, and good luck.

Currently I am using Eclipse ADT 23.00 and in Google I/0 2014, Android Studio 0.8 beta has been released.
As Android Studio gets closer to a stable version release, Google stated that after release it becomes the official developing environment, so which one is going to be the better option in future?
For future development and upcoming projects it is recommended to use Android Studio in combination with gradle.
I can't emphasize the following enough.
Your IDE is not and should not be your build system.
The real question is ant vs. Maven vs. Gradle, etc.
Once you have a standardized and widely supported command-line build system, developers on a project should be free to use whatever IDE they wish. IDE artifacts should never be checked in to source control.
I've worked with IntelliJ, and then Android Studio when it first came out, on a project with a Maven build, and had no problem on a team where some used Eclipse and some IntelliJ / Android Studio. I found Android Studio to be better in many ways, but then I'd been a long-time IntelliJ user.
Eclipse is hard working machine and i strongly recommend you to change your working directory!
From the rest to workplaces the better one for me is Android Studio.
Firstly it is based on IntelliJ IDEA which i like a lot and yes as you mentioned it is going to the official Android IDE after it's release.
If you are new to Android then I suggest of using Android studio for development since its an official release and will get stable soon.
It has many features that will increase the developer productive such as
Template-based wizards
Lint Tool
etc...
If are comfortable with Eclipse then I suggest to stick with it until Google lunch a full fledge stable Android studio.
