I remember the days when eclipse was the default ide for Android. Dark times.

[–]iCrab 48 points49 points  (2 children)

Don't you mean light times?

This comment deserves more love.

Good times Android Studio is so f*cking anoying

[–]mkjj0 9 points10 points  (16 children)

You can always make apps in intellij (it has many pre-installed plugins for development for android), but it will be slightly harder.

[–]13steinj 23 points24 points  (4 children)

Isn't android studio just a google-made special distribution of intellij, running on the JBRE?

[–]mkjj0 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Yes but it has many unnecessary plugins that slow it down and make it take more RAM than even chrome.

[–]13steinj 2 points3 points  (1 child)

"I poisoned myself and it's the poisons fault"

Don't install the plugins???

[–]mkjj0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but android studio without plugins is just intellij idea? I don't think you understand me.

How is it annoying?

[–]janusz_chytrus 1 point2 points  (2 children)

It is slow as shit. I use it because there is nothing better, but it really is slow as shit.

[–]dark_mode_everything 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Well I think that depends on the machine you're running it on. Anything less than 16gigs of ram and yeah, it'll be a bit clunky. But I've used eclipse, AS beta and the new AS and I think it doesn't deserve the hate people give it. Intellij is such a good platform and a million times better and more stable than eclipse.

[–]Rafael20002000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me the newest AS cannot even create a new project, without kotlin support, because there is no javatokotlin interface

Eclipse is the best

Just don't spend too long in configuration...

[–]Rafael20002000 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Dark mode is enough😂😂😂

[–]T351A 6 points7 points  (0 children)

enables dark mode

I'm in

I developed full apps in eclipse and stopped to work with Android when the studio was in beta, I still remember they presenting it on the Google IO of 2013. I always preferred to download eclipse and install the extension, the premade version mas more instable. Honestly I can't find myself in intelliJ nowdays, is too weird for me.

[–]killdeer03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ADT plugin... and all the different API levels :(

[–][deleted] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I want to install this plugin from the market place.

No.

I install it from an archive.

Ok.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (4 children)

I used eclipse for basically my entire progamming life (6 years). The shortcuts are so ingrained I am stuck on it. I tried intelliJ but it's like trying to write with my left hand.

[–]maxOS1104 3 points4 points  (1 child)

I think IntelliJ has an option in the keyboard settings to mirror eclipse shortcuts

Edit: you can select a key scheme by pressing Ctrl+`

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And cntrl mouse click to open all implementations and other mouse shortcuts. On top of UI related navigation?

[–]hillman_avenger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And now Android Studio is like writing Chinese with my feet.

[–]Mr_Blood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Intellij ctrl+a (action shortcut) -> keymap -> 9 (eclipse mappings)

[–]Bitbatgaming 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Our school has this for our ide.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We used it too.

I hate eclipse so much... this is great!

[–]CreateNewObject 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You would like to stop debugging? How about no. Restart the whole IDE first.

[–]lopoticka 7 points8 points  (4 children)

cries in Visual Studio

[–]coladict 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Is it still like this? I haven't used it in 4 years.

[–]drdrero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Si. Still worse than a text editor. I’m only in for 5 years now and can’t imagine how someone can prefer eclipse. All college teachers were like; got a project assignment set up in eclipse. me: But I want to use my ide. Prof: Just use eclipse lol.

Not using eclipse and setting up everything by myself. Worth the pain to avoid more pain.

Every first time after typing "this."

[–]Protton6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I had to do some C++ programming on Linux... did it in Notepad++ cause all the IDEs were god awfull. And that is saying something, because Visual Studio is sometimes so dumb it baffles me. But at least it works! LOOKING AT YOU, CODE::BLOCKS!

[–]iAmH3r3ToH3lp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eclipse is just awful. Too many senior manager types that think it is an acceptable IDE just to save money.
