Android Studio is basically a space heater that accidentally produces an app now and then.
- alskdj21 6y agoI'm using a 4 years old laptop with 4GB as my main machine. As much as I want to develop Android apps, there's no way for me to do it with Android Studio. The IDE itself would consume much of the memory with glaring input lags, and there's gradle. The tooling isn't there outside the IDE. Kotlin-language-server and ktlint sadly isn't enough. I really wish android dev is more accessible.
- pjmlp 6y agoMost of my Android development is either mobile Web, or NDK stuff. This approach allows me to ignore of the Android development pain, mostly develop on desktop and just focus on the device for final testing. Naturally on that case Koltin isn´t part of the story.
- pjmlp 6y agoJava development is part of the stuff I do, on a laptop that doesn't have any issues dealing with VS, Netbeans or Eclipse, I can complety forget to even attempt to use Android Studio.
- twodave 6y agoIt's more doable from this standpoint to use IntelliJ to build Android apps, but not as straightforward (and from what I've experienced can be a source of conflict when some team members still use Android Studio).
- pjmlp 6y agoOr just use VS Code alongside NDK, Flutter, Xamarin, Qt, their respecitive IDEs and Android CLI SDK.
