Any IDE like Android Studio?

I am learning Java, and I am highly recommended to Android Studio. My Notebook is a Core i3 with 4GB ram, I was also told that with 4 ram is almost impossible to try to work with java. Is that true? Also because I’m not thinking of upgrading the note just to program in a language not. Is there an IDE like Android Studio only lighter or something? I really thought it was absurd to have almost 8 of ram just to touch this IDE.I know you can make an app up through the notepad, but it would take a lot more time depending on the project. Note: It does not need to be an IDE that makes my note fly so light no, not catching too much to make an error or something like this is already good.

    Java or Android? For Java would be Intellij, not Android Studio. Anyway, for either one, 6 GB is enough. 4 GB too, if you don’t make a point of using Windows. It has several Linux distributions that spend less memory and about more for the IDE.

    Reinforcing what @Pabloalmeida said, you have very light linux distributions, which cut the weight that windows itself has (which is not so little) thus releasing more memory for Android Studio. Personally I think it’s the best bet you have.

  • I have 8Gb of RAM, the IDE not only hangs for lack of RAM, but for intense use of disk, here is using 1.890Gb and hangs if using some program that uses much disk together

My laptop apparently has the same configuration as yours, I’ve already been able to use the android studio on it, after the IDE loads to move (it takes a long time), but gives a few crashes.

you can configure the eclipse to have the android developmental environment --> in this tutorial.

previously used the eclipse to be create android apps, only that Google no longer recommends, but only by study vele apena.

I think your configuration is even reasonable if you don’t mess with something very heavy, one option is to upgrade this memory to 8GB. About the IDE, I don’t know if the best IDE to learn Java is Android Studio, it’s more aimed at making applications with Patter Android. If you want an Android Studio-like IDE more Java-oriented, there’s the Intellij Community that’s from the same developer as Android Studio, both are very similar, and they’re just as heavy.

For lighter options, Voce can try using Visual Studio Code with the plugin to program in Java. I tested it and it worked reasonably well and it seems an excellent option for more level IDE, the only caveat is that maybe, you need some more advanced knowledge of the language to configure some things, however this will also make you gain knowledge and Talz.

And last but not least, there’s the good old eclipse that, in a matter of weight, is an intermediate between the two options above, and also if I’m not mistaken, it should be the most widely used IDE among Java programmers.
