Try IntelliJ community edition. It fully supports Android development with the exception of a visual layout tool and it's 100x better than Eclipse, IMO. In fact, after working with IntelliJ and then going back to XCode it's amazing how little help XCode gives you with managing your code. Admittedly tooling Java is much easier than C/Obj-C/C++ but after using an IDE with really good refactoring tools I really, really miss them in XCode.
- va_coder 15y agoI concur. I started playing with Android over the weekend. Even though I know Eclipse pretty well, Intellij community edition was way better.
- Pewpewarrows 15y agoThanks for the suggestions. I didn't even know a community edition of IntelliJ existed.
- bad_user 15y agoIt does exist, it is open-source and it is awesome. It also comes with Android project-types. What is missing when compared to Eclipse is the visual interface builder, but IMHO people can do without that bloat, especially since it is totally unusable IMHO. Just do your interfaces as you would do HTML-stuff. IDEA does give you code completion for tags and tag attributes. Works fine.
