Is there a particular reason to choose Eclipse instead of Android Studio? Google is pushing its weight on the latter with their Eclipse+ADT combo being essentially on life support (and for good reason since Android Studio provides a vastly better experience).
Moreover, the next version of Android Studio will include C/C++ support based on JetBrains' CLion that will cover development with the NDK.
- MichaelCrawford 11y agoI didn't know about Android Studio, I'll give it a try. I actually like IDEs quite a lot, what I don't like are IDEs like netbeans, eclipse, visual studio or xcode. I loved codewarrior absolutely to death, I was heavily into thinkc, the first development tool I ever bought with my own money was lightspeedc which fit on a floppy.
