I need to do an Android project, but I do not want to use Android Studio because it is very slow and full of bugs on my computer. Which alternative IDE or framework could I use?
A basic requirement of the project is to be in Java.
Lighter and more stable alternative to Android Studio [closed]

If your project has to be done in Java, you have no choice. In theory, you could do in Eclipse, but start an Android project in Eclipse today is a maintenance suicide, since Android development in it is no longer officially supported (Eclipse was once the official IDE for Android, via the ADT plugin).
If it could be done using HTML5 / Javascript / CSS, you would have several options, such as Intel XDK and Visual Studio (using Xamarin).
I find it strange that Android Studio has many bugs on your machine. It is stable enough to be used by millions of people every day. As for it being heavy, it is probably memory shortage on your computer. Working on it with less than 6 GB of RAM is asking to suffer, especially if your OS is Windows or if you intend to use emulator.
