Android Studio contains C++ (NDK) support, which is not available in the Idea community edition or other free product. Only in Clion (paid). Having it as a plugin could cannibalize this product.
- pjmlp 11y agoI cannot speak for Clion, but Android Studio it is still a pain to use for NDK projects, when compared with VS 2015 support.
- vetinari 11y agoCould you be more specific, what are pain points in AS compared to VS2015 when working with NDK?
- pjmlp 11y ago- Gradle support for NDK is still work in progress and keeps changing - Android Studio doesn't support ndk-build based projects - Android Studio turns my core duo, with 8GB RAM, 512 GB HD into a propeller airplane and Gradle builds take minutes versus seconds in Visual Studio (Ant/ndk-build) - VS2015 has direct support for mobile cross platform, so I can from the same IDE target Android and WP - Intelisense is faster and more accurate on Visual Studio than Android Studio - I am yet to test the debugging support, including visualizers in Android Studio, because I lost my patience to keep on waiting minutes even for "hello world" builds - Visual Studio C++ team tries to improve the experience and actively asks for feedback, Android Studio team just ignores NDK users.
