Using Android Studio as a development environment for learning Java?

Question

Java

I was going to learn Java, only the Android Studio 4 program is installed on the computer (win10), can it be used to write code for lessons not related to android applications? Or do I need to install another development environment for this - intellij, eclips... Can Android Studio replace them? For now, I am far from programming) And, if you can use. Android Studio, what new project should I choose there?

Answer 1

Hello!
You will be surprised, but Android Studio is the very Intellij IDEA Community Edition. So you can easily develop Java applications in this IDE. It is even possible to develop android applications in Intellij IDEA. It's just that Android Studio from Google has built-in additional goodies like Firebase, etc.
However, you can write Java code on anything from vim up to Intellij IDEA, Sublime Text 3 (Javatar), VSCode, etc.

And, if possible, use Android Studio, what new project should I choose there?

As for me, in the future, it's still better to install Intellij IDEA to make it convenient project creation menu at program start.
