-Android Studio is a new Android development environment based
-on IntelliJ IDEA. It provides new features and improvements over
-Eclipse ADT and will be the official Android IDE once it's
-ready.
-
-After having installed this package, run Android Studio with:
-  android-studio
-
-# Details
-
-On top of the capabilities you expect from IntelliJ,
-Android Studio offers:
-
- - Flexible Gradle-based build system.
- - Build variants and multiple APK generation.
- - Expanded template support for Google Services and various
-   device types.
- - Rich layout editor with support for theme editing.
- - Lint tools to catch performance, usability, version
-   compatibility, and other problems.
- - ProGuard and app-signing capabilities.
- - Built-in support for Google Cloud Platform, making it easy
-   to integrate Google Cloud Messaging and App Engine.
-
-# General tips
-- google-droid-fonts package may give you font issues with IntelliJ
-  based applications (like Android Studio), and removing it should
-  suffice to fix the issues.
-- An embedded version of JDK is included in this package for
-  Android Studio, which is needed to use it effectively.
-  However, I suggest to install an independent version (available in
-  slackbuilds.org).
-  If you already have JDK installed, you may want to specify it under
-  File → Project Structure → SDK Location
-  - Uncheck "Use embedded JDK", and
-  - set the right path (likely /usr/lib/java).
-
-# No multilib systems
-Android Studio "requires" a multilib system. It is however possible
-to use PART of its functionality with a 32-bit Slackware or a
-64-bit non-multilib Slackware64.
-
-## Slackware (32-bit) tips.
-- An embedded version of JDK is included in this package for
-  Android Studio. However, it does not work in 32 bit Slackware
-  and, therefore, jdk is required (available in SlackBuild.org).
-- You unlikely can use adb.
-- A downgrade of some tools is required to create APKs:
-  - Gradle 3.2                 (File → Project Structure → Project)
-  - Android plugin 2.2.2       (File → Project Structure → Project)
-  - Build Tools Version 23.0.3 (File → Project Structure → app under Modules)
-
-## Slackware64 tips.
-You will experience some problems installing the Android SDK (as it uses
-some 32-bit binaries) and running 32-bit AVDs.
+Android Studio Integrated Development Environment (IDE)
+
+Android Studio is the official integrated development environment
+for Google's Android operating system, built on JetBrains' IntelliJ
+IDEA software and designed specifically for Android development. It
+is available for download on Windows, macOS and Linux based operating
+systems. It is a replacement for the Eclipse Android Development Tools

+NOTE:
+  ****
+  YOU MUST AGREE TO GOOGLE'S DOWNLOAD AGREEMENT BEFORE YOU CAN
+  DOWNLOAD ANDROID STUDIO BINARY PACKAGE FROM THEM.  THIS MEANS THAT
+  YOU HAVE TO USE SOME SORT OF WEB BROWSER, E.G. FIREFOX, TO DOWNLOAD
+  IT. LINKS, WGET, ET AL WILL NOT WORK
