Hi!

What software are you using for android Development, I am mostly thinking about the programming state -
Like are you using xcode for programming and setup up classes and then export files a software that can publish to apk and set it up or Visual studio, eclipse or android studio etc.?

Thanks!

a text editor and the command-line.

Lol is that common and how do you work, I mean I have never heard about that…

I feel like it is common. I use a text editor that has a file hierarchy easy to navigate between files. When ready, hop over to my command-line and execute cocos run or cocos build. I think people also are moving to Android Studio. I never liked Eclipse.

XCode for everyday coding (used to it from previous iOS-specific dev), BBEdit/SublimeText/Vim for more efficient edits (prefix/suffix multiple lines, multiple cursor editing, macros for repeated actions). Visual Studio only when debugging Win32/WinUniversal builds. Prob should use only one :frowning: instead.

As mentioned just use the editor (SubilmeText/Notepad++/TextMate/Atom/Xcode/VS2015/etc) and build interface (command line, eclipse, android studio) of your preference.

I use Xcode for all coding. Cocos Studio for layout and testing/building for Android.
Back in the day worked with Eclipse, gave me a headache. Didn’t even try Android Studio :smile:

If you are coding in xcode how do you then program some of the functions that need the android library?

Thanks!

I use Visual Studio for almost all of my coding, build Android and iOS with the native build tools automated via a network service that creates and delivers the binaries to drop box.

Thanks for your contribution tihi.
Since you are using visual studio I got some questions for you:

  1. Every time that I try to add a class I right click the “classes” folder and press new where I choose cpp file and save it under the classes directory. After that I try to import to newly created file but the system cannot find it? Do you know why and why is it that when you choose cpp it is not generating a header for the cpp?

  2. Where do you include frameworks…

Thanks so much!!!<3

Personally I use Visual Studio’s support for Android and iOS Libraries and Frameworks so that I can work in visual studio.
