Actually, with the exception of the visual layout tools, I find IntelliJ better in just about every way than Eclipse for Android coding. And it's so much better than XCode 4 that I wouldn't know where to start enumerating the differences.
I know a lot of people are happily coding Android apps with Vim or Emacs and command line tools too.
- runjake 15y agoAre you referring to the IntelliJ community edition? I program on the 3 major smartphone platforms (iOS, Android, an WP7) and Android is perhaps the most painful with Eclipse. I'd be interested in IntelliJ if I could use the free version (but I don't see any reference to Android)
- lmz 15y agoThe feature comparison here http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/features/editions_comparison_matrix.html http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/features/editions_comparison_m... shows that Android is supported in the Community Edition (free version)
- cageface 15y agoYeah. Android development is completely supported in the free version. Give it a shot. I've been an IDE hater for most of my career but IntelliJ really does increase my productivity.
