Is there any point in this Wikipedia page? Shouldn't it be merged with something else?
"Android software development" isn't an entity. It's an abstract idea with multiple different approaches through which the main route of entry is Android Studio or the Android SDK. I believe the best place for this information is as a subsection in the entry for Android Studio, or the Android SDK or, more than anything, Android itself.

"officially supported": Eclipse or Android Studio ?
I am a little bit puzzled: In Sec. 1.1 someone says: "The officially supported integrated development environment (IDE) is Eclipse using the Android Development Tools (ADT) Plugin, though IntelliJ IDEA IDE (all editions) fully supports Android development out of the box" but when I visit the "Building Your First App" intro on https://developer.android.com/ it refers me to the community edition Android Studio. I am a newbie in Android development, so I would appreciate any clarification. Additionally Android Studio is labeled on its download page as "The official Android IDE" on 14. Jan. 2015.

Android SDK initial release date in infobox
Initial release date is given as October 2009. But according to this page, version 1.0r1 was released in September 2008, version 1.0r2 in November 2008 and version 1.1r1 in February 2009. So does that mean the date in the infobox is incorrect or am I missing something? Kidburla (talk) 02:29, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
