This tutorial is on how to install Android Studio on Windows for Android development or just for installing ADB and Fastboot using SDK Manager. Android Studio was a project started by developers at Google. They acknowledged the criticism from people all over the world — which was, their Eclipse IDE looked dated and lacked tools to follow the latest guidelines for the newer APIs. What did they do then? They created Android Studio.
Android Studio is an all-in-one solution for developers who want to develop for Android. It adds in new features and couples it with a more intuitive UI. To sum it all, Google has been trying to make development easier, faster and much better by updating Android Studio with new features and capabilities.
