Can I use Android Studio/IntelliJ instead of Eclipse with the Android Track?

I'm going be using Android Studio instead of Eclipse from now on. I don't know why, but Eclipse doesn't work with me.

I am trying to write all the code from the classes by hand so I can get in the habit and checking them against the code provided for download.

Will I be able to do this for all/most of the Android track?

Thanks!!

That's the best way to do it.

The short answer is "yes you can, and with only a little extra work." If you check out Getting Started with Android Studio Ben explains some of the differences and how to modify the code so that you can follow along.

Thanks for replying, John! Eboni, I definitely recommend it. I'll switch to Android Studio in all the videos as soon as it's out of the "early access preview" period. The differences are minor, though, and there's usually help in the Forum already for any diffs.

I didn't even notice that video! Thanks!
