At this point in the timeline of technological evolution, Android needs no introduction. This mobile operating system was acquired by Google, and it has reached far and wide across the globe. It is now one of the top choices for application developers and game developers. With octa-core CPUs and ever-powerful GPUs, the sheer power offered by Android devices is a motivating factor!
While setting up the environment for Android, you have more choices than any other mobile development platform. Your workstation could be running any of the three major operating systems (Windows, Mac OS, or Linux) and you would be able to build to Android just fine. Since Android is not fussy about its build environment, developers mostly choose their work environment based on which other platforms they will be developing for.
As such, you might choose to build for Android on a machine running Mac OS since you would be able to build for iOS and Android on the same machine....
