Well that pretty much seals the deal for me. Intellij it is.
I presume this means using ANT as the build system? I've had all sorts of trials and tribulations with the ANT build system for Android, although in fairness most of this has been caused by trying to push it beyond it's comfort zone (generating mocks, code coverage etc)
Thanks Romain.. love your work ;)

I use IntelliJ for all my Android framework development work and I have used it to work on apps such as the stock Launcher and a couple of personal apps. I can live without ADT since the most critical tools are available as standalone apps (DDMS, hierarchyviewer, traceview, etc.) You will probably miss some of the niceties of ADT so you should give it a try and see how it feels for you.IntelliJ is definitely not very good for native code which is why I use Eclipse (with only the CDT plugin) at the same time. If you have enough RAM it's a pretty good setup overall: Eclipse for C/C++ and IntelliJ for everything else.On Mon, Mar 11, 2013 at 10:47 PM, Jason <jason.polites@gmail.com> wrote:
OK.. I've just about had enough of eclipse. I have been using it for 10+ years (ever since it was WSAD :/) and have put up with it's slowness, buggyness, upgrade nightmares, plugins that don't work, plugins that do work.. then don't, random crashes etc etc... but I just can't take it anymore.This latest version of eclipse (Juno Service Release 2 Build id: 20130225-0426) is so riddled with bugs that I can't get through just a few hours with either my delete key not working (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2539672/my-delete-key-wont-work-in-eclipse-in-os-x), files not saving, a veritable "torrent" of NullPointerExceptions in the Error Log which manifest as random UI failures mixed in with the occasional but predictable complete crash followed by a "build the world" on restart that takes about 3 days.I love eclipse, but enough is enough.So.. is intellij for Android development a realistic option? Obviously Google make plugins for eclipse so this is always going to be the first stop for SDK updates, but if anyone is out there who has made the switch from eclipse to intellij specifically for Android work please let me know your opinion.I also do a reasonable amount in C++ using the CDT (which is a whole other source of issues) and I understand that this is not a strong point for intellij (?)I really wish the folks at eclipse (whoever they are) would stop trying to build features and just make the darn thing stable... I mean 10 years.. c'mon guys.:/--You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
