FUCKING FINALLY TIME!!!
I did it! I made IntelliJ IDEA find my Android SDK installation!
Thanks SO!!!
Now I can experience the joy of Gradle build times!!!

Why did Google had to make so difficult to work with Android without its Studio?!?!?!

and what is the difference between using IntelliJ and Android Studio?

One is paid the other is paid by Google

@inukinator why paid? IntelliJ Community edition can do it

@gitpush I'm doing it on Community Edition. When I started using IntelliJ, it was for Java. I like it more than Eclipse and Netbeans. I want to try some Android development and I don't want to install a gazillion IDEs.

@Qaldim you made the right choice there, Android studio is purely for Android, but I recommend you install it if you are going to build complex apps, it does help as it is meant for Android and nothing else. but as a start IntelliJ should do it.

Not saying IntelliJ won't be able to do it, but Google is optimizing that IDE to make Android development an easy task

@gitpush I might do that in the future. For now I'm testing the waters! And it doesn't bode well for the AVDs... 😅

@Qaldim DONT! just test on a real device Android AVDs are shit

@gitpush OK! Thank you for the advice! 😃
The AVDs don't work on my machine anyway, cause my laptop has an AMD processor and they require Intel with virtualization features... 😆

@Qaldim AMD has virtualisation if I'm not mistaken?

@inukinator Apparently my processor doesn't have that feature or Android requires explicitly Intel ones.

@Qaldim at least you did not suffer from their slow ass boot and memory eating. I wonder why every Google product just loves to eat all the RAM -.-

@gitpush My laptop acted slowly, but I'm used to such things since time immemorial! 😅
