Even the community edition[1] supports android development. Just point IntelliJ at your android sdk installation folder, and you're off to the races!

But I think this version is not the same as Android Studio community edition.


You're right, it isn't.

This post[1] from JetBrains helped clear the situation up for me.

If you switch the preview released today[1], it's nearly the same as Intellij (even the build numbers almost line up at 130.xx). I just prefer the Intellij preview for some of the features one cannot get in the Android focused IDE Google previewed.

Obviously, IntelliJ Ultimate edition is a superset of most JetBrain products.
