Android Studio

Android Studio is the official integrated development environment for Google's Android operating system, built on JetBrains' IntelliJ IDEA software and designed specifically for Android development

Status

  • The project is still in the early stages and we are investigating Windows Arm64 support for Android Studio and related tools such as Android Emulator, SDK, NDK, etc.

Android Studio

The build documentation is not accurate https://android.googlesource.com/platform/tools/base/+/studio-master-dev/source.md . We were not able to build.

This project GitHub - vuksa/android-studio-builder-1: Docker container that builds Android Studio from sources aims to build it, by patching sources. Alas, it did not work either.

Normally, you are suppose to build a first part using:

tools/base/bazel/bazel build //tools/adt/idea/android:artifacts

And then, build the IDE itself within IDEA: IntelliJ IDEA – the Leading Java and Kotlin IDE .

We managed to build the first part, but loading the project in IDEA fails. Using the documented build_studio.sh script documented in Android Studio documentation fails too.

This issue tracks this problem: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/248536235

We created a new issue to ask for explicit support for Windows on Arm: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/267458969

Android NDK

To be investigated

Android SDK

To be investigated

Android Emulator

Blocked by availability of qemu-aarch64-system, and hyper-v acceleration (whpx), being enabled only for x64. This should be ported to arm64 too.
