Can you take the time to read these questions and let us know your thoughts?
Remove Android ADT support. Now there is proj.android for Android ADT (based on Eclipse), and proj.android-studio for Android Studio. The cocos command also supports Android Studio, and it is more easy to use Android Studio.
I voted âYes, this is fine with me.â as long as we get a decent debugging alternativeâŚ
You mentioned in another post, that we will soon be able to build and debug Android projects with VS2015 and therefore I believe itâs more than OK to drop Eclipse for the sake of a better IDE ;).
But cocos2d-x doesnât really support android studio It doesnât use gradle and just call âcocosâ command (I know, for eclipse itâs just python script). And can I edit c++ files in the same window with autocompletion in android studio? Can I debug them? If I can do all these things then yes, itâs fine with me.
Also in precompiled project there isnât android-studio directory.
Please give full support to Android-studio, it has 100% NDK support. Currently cocos doesnât support to gradle and cant edit C++ files too. Then you can remove ADT support.
@makalele i think you can not do the things in Eclipse too, i mean current supporting of Android Studio is as more as Eclipse ADT. And we will continue to improve Android Studio supporting.
@smitpatel88 Android Studio doesnât support NDK perfectly. I tried to use gradle to compile C++ codes but find it doesnât supporting complex folder structure as cocos2d-x has. You can refer to this ticket for detail information.
I found that it not works very very well of course Iâm with stevetranby, some of the stuffs that I found when I was working with the Cocos Helper framework was this. If you use a lot of external libraries you could have more than 65k methods then you cannot upload the APK to some stores, Android Studio have a fix with some jar library for that but in eclipse that library doesnât work, this happen more when you use Google play services, It will be nice to have more support to android studio but I think we need for now.
currently myself i do not use Eclipse, but it is because i can run my projects under XCode, i vote âNo, I still need Android ADTâ because some one have no Mac to run his projects under XCode, add Android Studio gradle support and you can remove this stuff.
Personally I still use proj.android, because I still need to manage every single files for android, I prefer to have complete access and I donât use Android Studio (just for debugging)
@lyvinhloi_cntt Developers using Mac need it to debug C/C++ codes. @makalele I know, but currently Android Studio doesnât support native developing well.
Edit: But Android Studio supports native developing better than ADT though it is not so good right now.
