I want to move from Eclipse to Android Studio. In Eclipse I use a plugin for Microsoft Team Foundation Server. In Android Studio I downloaded a plugin called TFS Integration from JetBrains but it doesn't work (apparently it is only supported in "Intellij Idea Ultimate Edition".
I can't move to Android Studio without integration with TFS. How do I get integration with TFS?
You can't have TFS in Android Studio at the moment, because AS is based on the free edition of intellij and TFS is based on the ultimate edition, as you said. So Jetbrain is selling a solution, therefore google can't fork it and make it free :)
You can use Team Explorer or GitTF

The plugin is in preview with an anticipated release in early 2016.
It seems that plugin lacks support of Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC): only Git is supported.
For TFS version control try this one Team Foundation Server - Version Control Integration
UPDATE
https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/7981-visual-studio-team-services supports TFS Integration (TFS Version Control and Git) with Android Studio and all community and enterprise versions of Jet Brains IDEs.

How do I get Visual Studio Online to do a Build/Continious Intergration-Delivery for Cordova?
The only examples below are for installing to your own TFS installation. The CI build templates for VSO is Java/Android or C++/iOS not Cordova/PhoneGap.

As you can see from the Team Foundation Server guide, they don't seem to support Cordova apps.
Why don't your try Visual Studio Community 2017 instead? This includes the Tools for Apache Cordova and it works perfectly fine.
Google is no longer supporting the ADT plugin, and it is actively encouraging developers to migrate to Android Studio. The official announcement about the ADT Plugin being DEPRECATED was posted on 26 June 2015 at https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2015/06/an-update-on-eclipse-android-developer.html. It is also clearly stated at https://developer.android.com/studio/tools/sdk/eclipse-adt.html.
Is the Eclipse Foundation still supporting and encouraging Developers to use Eclipse ADT for Android development, or did even the Eclipse Foundation give up and abandon Eclipse ADT? I am wondering if Android Studio and Eclipse ADT are still competitors, or if Eclipse ADT was defeated and they just gave up. It is obvious that Google wants everyone to use Android Studio, but what is the position of the Eclipse Foundation about that?
There is no competition at-all. Android Studio is de-facto industry standard now.
Eclipse ADT was built and maintained by Google and not by eclipse foundation. Android Studio is far better IDE then Eclipse ADT ever was. Google has long abandoned ADT for good and so did the industry.
The Eclipse Foundation is working on Andmore:
The purpose of Eclipse Andmore is to provide Android Eclipse tooling without having to go through multiple steps.
The technology development involves integrating and refactoring the Google ADT plugins as necessary to work with the project. Similarly, the former MOTODEV plugins have components that can be integrated into the project.
Yes it is, since late 2015.
we are ending development and official support for the Android Developer Tools (ADT) in Eclipse at the end of the year.

Android Studio was announced in May 2013 and maintained by Android technology team since then. It is based on the IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition, added features that are designed specifically for Android development and cooperated with JetBrains, creators of one of the most advanced Java IDEs available today. As the official Android IDE, Android Studio gives us access to a powerful and comprehensive suite of tools to evolve our app across Android platforms, whether it's on the phone, wrist, car or TV.
As Android Studio arises, Eclipse, the powerful open-sourced IDE, worked with Android Developer Tools (ADT) to create gorgeous Android apps, begins to fall. Now that when Android M Preview was released, Eclipse couldn't work with the latest Android SDK whose structure was changed but Eclipse couldn't adapt it.
It is said that development and official support for the ADT in Eclipse will be ended at the end of the year, just to make way for focus on all of their efforts on making Android Studio better and faster. But Eclipse isn't abandoned completely for Android Development. Android tools inside it continues to live. They created a new project called Andmore - Eclipse Android Tooling.
So, what is Andmore? Now that ADT in Eclipse is not supported any more, they create this Eclipse Android Tooling for what? After Eclipse don't work for Android development at all, developers would switch to Android Studio, the official IDE, I think, will someone prefer Andmore in Eclipse? If so, what are advantages of Andmore in Eclipse which force them to choose it?
Any tips will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
The purpose of Andmore is to provide Android Eclipse tooling without having to go through multiple steps.
The technology development involves integrating and refactoring the Google ADT plugins as necessary to work with the project. Similarly, the former MOTODEV plugins have components that can be integrated into the project.
Andmore includes:
JDT for Android Java applications.
CDT for C/C++ shared libraries.
Gradle tooling (details TBD)
Maven Build support via the M2E-Android Eclipse Plugin.
Ant support via the built in Eclipse support for ANT.
A fork of Google's ADT (Android Development Tools) plugins for
Eclipse.These are maintained separately from Google's code line at AOSP, which will not be updated with any regularity.
The former MOTODEV Studio Plugins (now part of the Android Open
Source Project) upgraded to work with ADT.
A p2 repository and product build using tycho.
Mylyn Reviews for Gerrit Review integration.
EGit for source code management.
GitHub Plugin from EGit for better collaboration with GitHub
projects.
In addition to components, Andmore will produce an EPP package.
The source code for Andmore is maintained on Github. To contribute, please make sure you have a signed CLA with the Eclipse Foundation on file, and fork the repository. Pull requests and will be reviewed by an existing committer before being merged.

I installed Android Studio TFS plug-in From JetBrains web site and after I install it, it doesn't work.
Is it possible to install TFS and if it's not what is the best source control to use as Team work source controller?
I believe that the JetBrains plugins have not been updated since TFS 2010,and you need to have Team Explorer 2010 installed to use them.
If you install Team Explorer 2010 it should work.
The TFS does not work, because plugin working only the Ultimate version , like Android Studio is based in JetBrains Free, it not will work.
We use TFS 2012 in our company for version controling.
According to this discussion:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/adt-dev/C_Gc6hVkig0
TFS plugin should come for the version 1.0, that is already released.
Any news?
UPDATE
Now we have TFS 2013 and use git. Everything works fine.

no new news
it's now in version 1.0.2 and no TFS added only intelliJ IDEA ultimate edition
Maybe we should wait for version 1.2. 1.1 preview annouce says that version will have IntelliJ 14 and (I hope) possibly the TFS plugin will work. On issue I opened last month no updates until now
