After using Android Studio for a month, it is a real shame that it doesn't have a working Problems View. This interview <http://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2015/02/interview-with-tor-norbye-the-present-and-the-future-of-developer-tools-for-android/> with Tor pretty much explains (at least at the outset) why: the IntelliJ/Android Studio Problems View sounds like it works by using an internal compiler, but since Android Studio only builds with Gradle, the internal compilation (and thus the Problems View) really wouldn't work. So I can understand the reason, but as an end-user, it's really disappointing after experiencing the Eclipse Problems View.
There's already a bug in AOSP <https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=76045>about the lack of Problems View in Android Studio. Thanks.
