Legit question:
What is the comfiest and least bloated way to start coding an android app? What IDE and setup does user use?
I haven't found anything that doesn't require installing a trillion of different things just to be able to do even the simplest things.
Android studio is being recommended everywhere, but that piece of shit is the slowest fucking software I've ever seen.
Is there a small sized, fast, portable version of any of the android IDEs that wont make me pull all my hairs out?
I know jack shit about phone development. I mean i just got a (((smart)))phone and i already want to throw it out.
I would guess a text editor and a compiler?
Phones native dev kit, so ADK or xcode, depending on target.
Too slow? Get faster hardware. This isn't fucking unity, user, you're compiling shit.
Apache Cordova can be done with many IDEs
python. cross platform.
mad easy. lots of libraries.
It's less the IDE that puts me off but more the fucking boilerplate everywhere.
Just use android studio. I hated it at first but it has the most support and a big community of developers online, which makes it worth putting up with some bloat.
Will definitely check these out.
>I would guess a text editor and a compiler?
Wish it was just that simple
>Too slow? Get faster hardware.
Or how about stop shitting out unoptimized IDEs in FUCKING JAVA
>small fast portable IDE
think again
>Is there a small sized, fast, portable version of any of the android IDEs that wont make me pull all my hairs out?
No, because you need the Android SDK which is anything but small sized, fast and portable.
You can Gradle build from the command line and adb it to your device. It's a lot more helpful to have Android studio when you're making activity layouts though
What makes it not portable. Can't you just set the paths and execute the IDE in a batch file ?
make a lightweight website and an app that redirects users to the site
>Or how about stop shitting out unoptimized IDEs in FUCKING JAVA
Stop developing for a java platform then
Your post makes no sense
Here are your options:
1. Use ionic or react native with vscode or sublime text
2. Get a better computer, you should be able to run android studio no problem
3. Realize all front end work is grunt trash and move to backend where the real math happens (this will still require a heavy ide unless you use node with vscode or something)
Can't you just export vidyas as android apps in Unity engine?
Been trying out NativeScript with Angular 2. Some good stuff, but JS sucks (its typescript, but still)
Yo, check out my Unity-powered calendar app! (please don't)
Cordova is poo
okay you have a good point there, it would kinda be funny to create apps in unity that really don't need unity though like a calculator or a video player
How do I into android development
What’s the matter , does your thinkpad shit doesn’t work well with Android Studio ?
Too bad it can’t run Xcode
Ive got a proper desktop
Unfortunately Java basically requires a bloated as fuck IDE to use. Maybe use Go or the NDK, assuming you're talking about Android, that way you can use a normal text editor
Can't really help with other platforms unfortunately
>berates others for making bloated java IDEs
>unironically considers writing android apps in shiteon
have you considered kotlin?
that's exactly what NOT to do pajeet
First time I hear about kotlin
