I am new to android and I started development on Eclipse but it is creating lot of issues as Emulator is taking lot of time to start and in between it hangs aswell.
Just now learnt there is another tool "Android Studio". Can I use android studie instead of eclipse? are there any performance issues with android studio.
Please anyone suggest me to clear the confusion. I am ready to shift to android studio if it is more user friendly than eclipse.
Thanks Siva
Android Studio is faster than Eclipse. There is no need to add a plugin to Android Studio but if we use Eclipse then we do need to. Eclipse needs many resources to start but Android Studio does not. Android Studio is based on IntelliJ's Idea Java IDE and Eclipse uses the ADT Plugin to develop Android applications.
With the release of Android Studio 2.2, the time has now come to say goodbye to the Eclipse Android Developer Tools. We have formally ended their support and development. There's never been a better time to switch to Android Studio and experience the improvements we've made to the Android development workflow.

There is a lot of info on both if you googled it. But the only way you'll know for sure is if you try it yourself and see what's better for you.
The emulator though will be the same for both platforms, so if the emulator is what's bugging you there won't be any improvement. For a faster emulator take a look at this question.
Also remember that Android Studio is still only in preview so there are lots of bugs that are being resolved every day. This video is a good preview of what to expect from Android Studio (now and in the future): https://developers.google.com/live/shows/478404424
