Note:: I have looked into the answers here answered by CommonsWare but it was not much clear in debugging tools
Does Android Studio offers special debugging features which are not in eclipse ?
If so what are those ?
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.
I have used extensively both IDE's. IMHO Android Studio is much better than Eclipse.
Some obvious advantages are:
On the downside I can notice three things:
To sum up, sorry I went a bit beyond the debugging tools (although both of them use the same ddms, so there is no difference there, but I noticed Logcat has a difference, as mentioned above). There is no actual dilemma which one is better. Android Studio is, period. The point is when are you going to switch to it.
Just my two pennies.
Android studio is much clever. It understands context in which you are working (because it's built over IDEA). And for now it is stable enough to work with. I changed IDE from eclipse to IDEA and then to ADS, six month ago and very happy about this.
