Which is better for Android Studio Mac or Windows?

So in the case of easily being able to download and view the source, either Linux or Mac would be a better option than Windows.

Can you do Android development on a Mac M1?

Yes it is. To develop android apps the most used platform is the android studio in which you code in Java and xml. Fortunately, it is available both for the windows PC and the Mac.

Is Mac good for Android studio?

Android Studio works smoothly on MacBook but 8 gb RAM is required for smooth behaviour. Its an expensive way to do dev for Android based on its hardware cost alone, but it works just fine for the task thanks to Java.

Yes. Android development primarily takes place with Java and in Eclipse (which itself runs on Java) and therefore is cross platform.

  1. Download the SDK for Mac
  2. Following the installation instructions

This all-in-one post might be easier to follow for you.

If you run into problems a simple Google or post in their Google Group will usually yield a result.
