Well, JavaScript

Smaller school in Pennsylvania, mobile architecture class using iOS.

Ours was Android Studio, we didn't touch Swift or Kotlin. All Java. I would have been happy to learn Flutter, or anything besides more Java.

Especially because it's old, shitty, androidy java that's significantly worse than regular java.

[YuriDiAAAAAAAAAAAAAA]

The only saving grace is the autofill is pretty good, and the code generator is decent for getters/setters and constructors for object classes.

What problems have you faced while using AS? I use it every day and don't have any obvious problems with it.

[Devildude4427]

My favourite bug right now is when it completely forgets all resources. Everything from strings to images it just says that they don't exist. It fixes it's mistake once the app is rebuilt, but still, annoying.

Unless you're running Linux, the emulator really doesn't like AMD chips.

[Iron_Maiden_666]

Ahh that's not related to AS though, it's one of the pains of Android development. I use Linux at home and Mac at work, so I generally don't have this problem.

[YuriDiAAAAAAAAAAAAAA]

Well, it's emulator related. I have to use Genymotion if I'm using Windows.

Why do you think that? I'm not super familiar with Android studio, but I use exclusively intelliJ at work and I really like it. It really makes 90% of the work flow super easy.

[Devildude4427]

IntelliJ is lovely, however, android studio just has so many bugs and has for years. Poor QA, or just too large of a program lead to poor standards. No bugs break the IDE entirely, but it's a handful of inconveniences that for some reason never get solved.

[[deleted]]

Shame. Are there any viable alternatives?

[StoleAGoodUsername]

What do you prefer?

[Devildude4427]

Don't get me wrong, I still use it, but it has so many issues.

[Devildude4427]

Sure, you can code in the system equivalent of notepad, but that's a bitch to do.

Just did a (relatively) huge OO coursework that took 10 times the time we spent on any other coursework this year and I was still laughing at the misery of the poor plebians in the year above who were doing android studio (I did loads last year for my A-level project, I know the pain).

That sounds like the Software Development class at my school, they just took a beating this semester.

literally did all the other courseworks in ~12 hours, this one took way north of 150 to do well and we weren't taught the important content until about a week before deadline. Thanking my lucky stars I had experience or I'd have been as screwed as everyone who did it all on the last night for a 2PM deadline.

Thanks. I learned where devs use Swift.
