Description

I know several of you are still using eclipse for android development. But i would like starting a talk about for how long we should support eclipse. It seems like there are several hacks both in the eclipse and android studio workflow to support each other. And to me it seems like Android Studio is more then ready to take over from Eclipse, especially now where all googles focus is on improving android studio, including the NDK tools.

The eclipse official support for android is ending by the end of this year
