It was a huge disruption, but it was pretty much forced on us. I took it all in a 24 hour period with little sleep.

I learned that the hard way. The paint wasn't dry on the 1.0 version before I ran into several things. Most of all, including Google Play Services overruns Dex - known problem. The only instructions for dealing with that situation. There are no instructions for piecing out Google Play Services without using Android Studio. Some people here had creative solutions, but that was all. And there was no way of running MultiDex in Eclipse that I could find. Official instructions are Nothing I found actually worked. | With AndroidStudio.... well, I'm starting to believe I will leave Android programming ! Is this Android Studio or the migration to Android Studio? Because with new projects, even months ago, I had no hesitation starting them in Android Studio. It was the forced migration that was a pain. Right now, life is much better. I have no desire to touch Eclipse again if I can avoid it. That may be of little comfort to you now.
