Sumafu22486yIn fact, IntelliJ is actually the best IDE I've every seen. Google just destroyed it with it’s Android extensions.
-
@Sumafu You sure you have seen many IDEs? IntelliJ is written in Java. Big waste of processing power and electricity. If they had written it in a proper language, like C or C++, I would consider it. But Java, yuck. It's super slow, big memory foot print, unstable, does not conform to operating system standard user interface elements, ...

Pharilax1306yI'm a fan of jetbrains IDE's, I think they're smooth and clean and get the job done.
You might have to change which version of gradle is set directly in your app. It's a line in one of the main config files for the project I think. -
Intellij hasn't been written in Java since about 6+ years ago. they migrated to C++. If you look at some old documentation, the difference is night and day.

@Pharilax AndroidStudio is anything but smooth. I just received an Out of Memory error on my machine with 16GB of ram and nothing but Android Studio open. All I wanted to do was to change background color of an activity. Shouldn't take 3 hours, should it?

@Techno-Wizard Doesn't look like a true C++ application though. Sluggish, slow, huge appetite for RAM for no obvious reason, eating CPU for no reason (right now it is minimized, doing nothing as far as I can say, and it is using %12 CPU, 12,388 MB of RAM, and 100KBps network bandwith. Maybe it's sending all my disk content to Google to index and use in their search; who knows?

@FuckJava yeah, not fully. I think the front layer you interact with is c now though. Google really messed up with Android studio and destroyed a strong framework

mindev5446y@FuckJava I've seen many IDEs. To be honest, I almost always come back to JetBrains. Their IDEs are awesome, and I love working with them. Android Studuo just has a shit ton of plugins to handle Android dev, which makes this one IDE complete garbage in comparison to other JetBrains products.

@DawidCyron jetbrains puts others to shame. I remember adopting it 5 years ago when it had a slight lead, but now there's no comparison

@vlatkozelka I am using "Android Studio". I believe I am well within my rights to expect "Android Studio" to be able to build "Android" applications, after it updates itself, without my intervention.
And FTY, yes I know what I am talking about. First IDE I used was Turbo Pascal 5.5, and I have grown with technologies and IDEs and compilers. One of the greatest acts of treason ever done to IT was invention of Java. Everyone who knows shit about computer suddenly became a programmer. -
@vlatkozelka FYI, I don't use Google's Spyware. I use Firefox, with 5 tabs open at most. Yesterday when Android Studio was leaking memory, Firefox was using 350MB
-
mindev5446y@FuckJava this has to be pure bullshit. Either you use a machine with 2GB of RAM, or something is wrong with your computer. I can also launch 2 AS projects, along with 40 tabs in Firefox, simple GoLang http server running and my Vue website running and I'm still doing ok, although it is on the edge od running out.

@DawidCyron I am using a Surface Book with 16GB of memory. I have no problem debugging X-plane plugins (Visual Studio 2015 or Delphi Tokyo - I have to use both); even going into debug heap while X-plane is rendering on a 2ndary monitor. There is something extremely wrong with Android studio, java, or both
Fuck you Android Studio. You just prompted me to update, and now are saying The project is using an unsupported version of Gradle. Why the fuck did you not update Gradle (whatever the shit it is) yourself?
What was wrong with Eclipse? Why the fuck Google decided to move to this piece of crap?
