AndroidIDE
Main Features
- Supports Gradle
- Comes with OpenJDK 11.0.12
- Provides auto completion for Java and XML. It also has basic (reserved) completion for Gradle files.
More features will be implemented as we continue to develop this app.
Features to be implemented
- Advanced Java Auto Complete
- Terminal
- Custom environment variables (for Build & Terminal)
- SDK Manager (Available via terminal)
- Gradlew support (with some limitations)
- API information for classes and their members (since, removed, deprecated).
- Implement language servers
- XML
- Kotlin
- UI Designer
- Layout inflater
- Resolve resource references
- Auto-complete resource values when user edits attributes using the attribute editor
- Drag & Drop (*)
- Visual attribute editor (*)
- Android Widgets (*)
- String Translator
- Asset Studio (Drawable & Icon Maker)
- Git (*)
Items marked with (*) are partially implemented.
Git is currently available only in the terminal i.e. no GUI interface for git.
Limitations
- Gradle Wrapper is supported. But, it requires that the project's application module is named 'app'.
- SDK Manager is already included in Android SDK and is accessible in AndroidIDE via its Terminal. But, you cannot use it to install some tools (like NDK) because those tools are not built for Android.
- No official NDK support because we haven't built the NDK for Android.
- No Android Gradle Plugin versions other than v7.0.2 are supported (due to AAPT2).
The app is still being developed actively. It's in beta stage and may not be stable. if you have any issues using the app, please let us know.
