Professional android (and previously ios) developer here.
If you know what to do then AS is pretty great. If you want to compare it with xcode then xcode is a sad state of affairs imho, lacking a lot of features that AS has.
It was a bit painful to have to see my ios colleagues have to resort to textsearch to find out where a certain member was being accessed, i mean come on.
The little ios dev I still do I do in Jetbrains' AppCode. Much better for actually coding.
