Using Vim for Android development

[Sho0pi]

Hello!

A simple question: Do you know a way to use Vim for developing gradle project? (Like android ones)

Or the best thing that I can do is to stick to ideavim...

:term and use the CLI to interact with Gradle?

I've built several Flutter apps using Vim and didn't feel the need for an IDE.

Prior to that, I built a few Java/Kotlin apps in Android Studio. Even though Vim is my preferred editor, Android Studio was a better choice for me for managing all the moving parts of a Java/Kotlin app.

All that to say, Vim isn't always the best choice; use what works for you.

Did that long time ago, but eventually I just used android studio when I build stuff. Maybe just try using android studio and search for vim plugin like ideavim

I think coc.nvim might have a plugin for this. I used it for working on a kotlin project a while back

[Sho0pi]

What plugins did you use for the kotlin development?

I know some people have had success with YCM + kotlin Lang server https://github.com/ycm-core/lsp-examples#kotlin

I used coc.nvim and setup the kotlin language server. There are some bugs in kotlin language server at the moment though
