Gradle Build System Android Studio gives the
advantage of Gradle set of build tools, which
replaces Apache Ant. It gives flexibility
extensibility in development and the studio
updates dont affect the output of your build.
This unified build system helps to handle
different build types different app versions in
a better way. It helps in managing multi APKs
through splits, gives multi-dex support and

redesigned User Interface (UI), where its menu

Project Management Android Studio has introduced
the concept of modules, where within your project
you have various modules like the app you are
building can be one module. If you have a library
then it can be another module, Ad SDK that you
are integrating can be the third one and so on.
The benefit is that these modules can separately
have their own Gradle build files with their own
dependencies, thus making it easier to manage and
organize your app projects and resources.

Lint Tools Android Studio uses Lint tool to help
check your Android source files for the chances
of any bugs and suggest improvements in terms of
security, performance, usability, accessibility
and more. At the time of releasing your APKs, you
can change your Grade files to include Lint and
it will stop the release process in case of any
threats. This thus helps to generate quality code.

Security Measures Android Studio has built-in
support for ProGuard tool, ensuring security of
your apps. It helps the developers to shrink
optimize code, by removing dead/unused code and
renaming classes, fields methods with
complicated obscure names. This tool runs only
when you develop your application in release
mode, as it is difficult to reverse or back
engineer the small size of .apk file. Android
Studio also has self signing capabilities, for
Android apps. There is a provision for digitally
signing the Android application packages, meant
for Android package manager for installing the
release as well as updates for the application.
This provision is there to validate your
authority to the manager, ensuring that the app
updates are from the same developer.
