+Android Studio is a new Android development environment based
+on IntelliJ IDEA. It provides new features and improvements over
+Eclipse ADT and will be the official Android IDE once it's
+ready.
+On top of the capabilities you expect from IntelliJ,
+Android Studio offers:
+
+ - Flexible Gradle-based build system.
+ - Build variants and multiple APK generation.
+ - Expanded template support for Google Services and various
+ device types.
+ - Rich layout editor with support for theme editing.
+ - Lint tools to catch performance, usability, version
+ compatibility, and other problems.
+ - ProGuard and app-signing capabilities.
+ - Built-in support for Google Cloud Platform, making it easy
+ to integrate Google Cloud Messaging and App Engine.
+
+After having installed this package, run Android Studio with:
+ android-studio
+
+The application would ask you for Java JDK, which is needed to
+use it effectively; if you have JavaJDK installed it could be
+in /usr/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}/java
