Ok, I decided to give it a whirl. Downloading and unzipping it is easy enough, and it started up. I like that it gave me the option of using my existing android-sdk setup.
Next, actually getting a project setup. I started with Checkey, since its very simple, and the only library dependency it has is appcompat_v7, something Google should know a lot about ;) Total fail. It walks me through the wizard, then when it tries to import it, it gives me a fatal error about a totally unrelated project: * /home/hans/code/guardianproject/platform-external-sqlcipher/AndroidManifest.xml: Invalid XML file: /home/hans/code/guardianproject/platform-external-sqlcipher/AndroidManifest.xml: Premature end of file. Same error goes for all of the other app projects that I tried (Orbot, Lil' Debi, etc). And this pointless error from an unrelated project stops the import process cold. I deleted 'platform-external-sqlcipher', luckily I don't need it, but then I get another: * /home/hans/code/guardianproject/openssl-android-whacked/AndroidManifest.xml: Invalid XML file: /home/hans/code/guardianproject/openssl-android-whacked/AndroidManifest.xml: Premature end of file. Delete that, and it finally runs the import process. Then when Android Studio finally start, it tells me first thing, before my project even loads, "There has been a fatal error in the IDE", then shows me a crash submission form saying "Attempt to mutate in notification: Attempt to mutate in notification". And of course in the process it pegs both my CPUs to 100%. Bugs bugs bugs... But once it all settles down, it doesn't seem to use lots of CPU while idling, unlike Eclipse.
