Courses Plus Student 36,159 PointsOld Treehouse Eclipse Based Apps
Ben J. mentions Eclipse based tutorials in the Android Tools Course...are these still available for Studio users who would like to build them? (I have Eclipse too but I'd try Studio first.)
Thanks!

Courses Plus Student 7,254 PointsHi Nancy,
Looking back at the Android Tools Course, Ben introduces Android Studio. I believe at the time he made that course, Android Studio was still in beta. It is now officially supported by Google and Eclipse will no longer be supported, so it is highly recommended that you use Android Studio.

Courses Plus Student 36,159 PointsAh, what I meant was are those old Eclipse-based app tutorials available so we can try to build the apps in Android Studio. I didn't mind using Eclipse but the question was about the tutorials and the apps that could be built using them, not the use of Eclipse per se. Thanks!

Courses Plus Student 7,254 PointsYou should be able to make the same apps in Android Studio. There may be small differences when adding libraries, but if you have specific questions about that, ask on the forums and someone should help. Other than that the code should still be the same.

The concepts covered in these courses are covered in the new versions, so you won't really learn anything new. But the code is pretty much still relevant despite updates to Android. The core stuff really doesn't change!
The one thing you'll get a little extra is in the Crystal Ball app, which has a few animations, plays a sound, and adds a shake detector.
