Is there anyone who knows when NDK will be added to android studio? Of course there are some ways to add NDK to android studio but they are not official.
EDIT : NDK support in Android-Studio will be available in version 1.3. The preview is now available as an update patch on the canary channel.
Here is the annoucement
Here is the canonical feature request regarding ndk support in Android Studio:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=55331
The "roadmap" for android tools mention that the NDK integration is currently planned after gradle 1.0... and gradle-plugin for Android 1.0 is out now.
As far as I know Google never communicates any release date for this feature (and it has never been a Google's habit to communicate a release date for anything either)
To answer your question : "so far, nobody knows."

Is there a place where Google publishes source codes for canary builds of Android studio? I can see tags for various versions in here, but the most recent version there is the stable 4.0 version, where I would need a developer snapshot of the current 4.2 version currently being developed.
Think you might have went through this. If not, please check this out

As there is no official package of the latest OpenCV 3.0 beta available for Android, does anyone know whether it is possible to build OpenCV for Android? Or do we have to wait till an official package is released?
I found this SO Thread how to build the old version for Android, but i doubt that it will work so easily for Android, and to be honest i'm not so familiar with CMAKE etc. to try it myself quickly.
Building OpenCV for Android from trunk
in the developer.android.com :

Note: Use of Support Library RenderScript APIs is not currently supported with Android Studio or Gradle-based builds.
this means that no any way to use this in android studio ?
my build tools 20.0.0
there is a way to use this in Android Studio, that line in the docs is out of date and is supposed to be removed sometime. however, I don't know what it is off the top of my head! I'll take a look and see if there's a sample somewhere.
I wonder if there is any difference between using the Android Studio, Google offer to use, and use the IntelliJ Base IDE, and install the Android plugin?
Would it effect the project and module handling?
Would it effect facets?
I've been using IntelliJ IDEA 12 for Android projects for a long time. Android studio has a lot of beneficial additional Android integration, such as:
Inline Lint API checks
Drawable and string previews
Better layout editor
Built in Gradle support
Better DDMS integration
But you can certainly just use the community edition of IntelliJ 12 for Android projects, and for production projects, I would say it's preferable at this time until Android Studio stabilizes. Also, I believe IntelliJ 13 will essentially include all of the Android functionality that Android Studio does, from what I've heard.
This is useful FAQs about Android Studio vs Android Plugin in IntelliJ IDEA.
It is clear to me that
The EAP (Early Access Preview) of IntelliJ IDEA 13, which includes all of the Android Studio features except for the redesigned new project wizard and the App Engine cloud endpoints integration, is available now.
http://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2013/05/intellij-idea-and-android-studio-faq/
As of today, Android studio actually functions, so I guess this would be my immediate solution. plus I'm not even sure the Android plugin would support all the features as Android studio will, and that there would not be any conflicts... better safe then sorry.
Is it possible at the moment to add the Android Studio extensions to a current IntelliJ IDEA installation?
Xavier Ducrohet and Tor Norbye mentioned in their talk, that Android Studio is an extension to the Community Edition of IntelliJ IDEA and that it's not a fork. So it should be possible to add the extension.
Is there an easy way to do so and probably to revert?
They also mentioned in their talk, that Android Studio uses Gradle as default build system. This should break the builds of current modules. Is this correct?
Thanks for the answers, but I finally found the corresponding statement by JetBrains: http://blog.jetbrains.com/blog/2013/05/15/intellij-idea-is-the-base-for-android-studio-the-new-ide-for-android-developers/
You can upgrade by hitting help -> Checking for updates and then choose Early Access Program as channel in the Update settings. You should receive a notification, that version 13 is available.
This EAP version contains almost all Android Studio features except the new Project Wizard and the App Engine Cloud Endpoints, but they will come soon. The reason for the delay is the Google IO, in the future new Android Studio and IntelliJ versions will be synced (mentioned in the comments of the blog post).
I guess it will be at androidstudio but the project is currently empty.
The installation page is here: Android Studio.
From what I understand in the download page & from what they said in the conference, it's a stand alone IDE based on the intelliJ, but i'm skeptical to whether one can get it as an extension to an already installed intelliJ IDEA.
About the build - in Migrating from Eclipse page they explain how to generate Gradle build files for your projects in Eclipse and then import those projects to Android Studio. It's pretty simple and straight forward.
