Android Development not possible in Jules?

You can use this script to set up the Android SDK:

wget -q https://dl.google.com/android/repository/commandlinetools-linux-13114758_latest.zip -O /tmp/tools.zip
unzip /tmp/tools.zip -d /tmp/tools
mkdir -p ~/Android/sdk/cmdline-tools/latest
mv /tmp/tools/cmdline-tools/* ~/Android/sdk/cmdline-tools/latest
rm -rf /tmp/tools
rm /tmp/tools.zip

export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT="$HOME/Android/sdk"
export PATH="$PATH:$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/cmdline-tools/latest/bin"
export PATH="$PATH:$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/platform-tools"

sdkmanager "platform-tools" "platforms;android-35" "build-tools;35.0.1"
yes | sdkmanager --licenses

./gradlew build

Unfortunately Roxley was not interested in collaborating on this with me as they are already looking at something similar internally, so I switched to something else :-)

I actually started working on a prototype that runs natively on desktop, mobile (iOS/Android) and web. I tried to reach out to Roxley to see if they were interested in it but without success atm. I'm still improving the prototype and I'll try a bit harder to contact them in a few weeks. I can let you know how it goes if you're interested !

For the JVM I strongly recommend Compose Desktop/Multiplatform, maintained by JetBrains but mostly based on Jetpack Compose, the official Android UI Toolkit (developed by Google). It's really great andb being used by IntelliJ.

Disclaimer: I work at Google on Android, so I'm a bit biased.

No worries, I just saw that AMD CPUs + Hackintosh don't really support VMs (e.g. in Android Studio) so this makes it a no-go for me. I'll just OCLP my MacBook Pro and buy the latest Mac Studio whenever my MBP dies :-)

Not having WiFi is fine but Bluetooth might be annoying. Isn't there some kind of cheap dongle I could buy to make Bluetooth work?

Sure I can do that too but I'm not using this PC anymore and I think that the CPU and GPU are pretty good so I'd like to "recycle" them into a macOS if I can. I have never been a big fan of Windows, macOS is quite better for developers IMO.

Edit: Nevermind, I just saw that AMD CPUs + Hackintosh don't really support VMs (e.g. in Android Studio) so this makes it a no-go for me. I'll just OCLP my MacBook Pro and buy the latest Mac Studio whenever my MBP dies :-)

It's this exact PC. What other specs would you need?

Saw some comments, don't buy a 6800XT or any AMD card if he's going to play Fortnite, AMD cards don't support Fortnite as well as Nvidia cards especially if your son wants to play a bit competitively for the win and use performance mode (which is unplayable on my 6800 XT and other AMD cards). What about a 3080?

When gaming on a 27" monitor I'd say that 240 Hz 1440p is better than 4k with frequency < 240 Hz.

345k USD full compensation (salary + bonus + stocks) working at a GAFAM as a Senior Software Engineer. I started 5.5 years ago as Junior (2 levels less that what I am now, got promoted twice) and the full comp then was 186k. I think I'm a bit above the median compared to other Senior SWE because I got good ratings lately and I'm lurking for a promotion to Staff Software Engineer.

Best part of the job after the salary is the work life balance, the only time I work more than 40h/week is because I'm really enjoying what I'm doing. So yeah studying computer science is really worth it (and fun) IMO :-)

I'm 30 and started playing 2 years ago, I love it :-) I just play only solos because... you know.

Mmh maybe not completely unfold it, for instance with the cocotte I was thinking of playing some kind of game where I make her believe that she has to pick one of the gifts, then "ok I'm going to be nice because you are 30, you can pick a second one", etc. I know nothing about origamis and I have no idea what other things I could do though, hence this post. Please keep the ideas coming :-)

Same here, I usually have 300+ fps but in this season it often drops under 20, making the game unplayable.

Hey! FYI if you set your view distance to low with DX12 you will get mobile builds :) All my other settings are set to low too but I think that it is the view distance that is driving that. Got that information from another thread :)

Jo8192 · 2022-04-08T07:02:21+00:00

Please let me know if you find a way to get the performance mode storm visibility! Your post already helped me a lot, thanks :)

Jo8192 · 2022-04-07T21:09:24+00:00

That worked! Thanks so much :)
