Someone at Google: how do we make Android build times quicker?
Someone else at Google: we could make a new button next to Run and call it 'Instant Run' and give it an awesome lighting bolt icon!
First someone: what will it do differently?
Second someone: nothing 😎14 -
Android studio gradle takes so much time to build. I decided to draw something to kill time whenever it build.
Day 3: Starlord is nearly complete.

Me at the office, Boss calling me by phone..
Boss: Hi, I need a new Build of XX Android app for another client.. set the base address at x.x.x.x and send me an APK file
Me: OK, I will do it.
Boss: can you do it in 5 minutes?
Me: Sure, it's simple..
Android Studio: You think it's simple !
* Indexing Files
* Sync Project
* Gradle Build
* Indexing....
* Some f* tasks
Oh kill me now !!5 -
"Aah, time to make a new Android app"
*starts Android Studio*
AS: "Yo yo yo, before you proceed, update all these 512 things in your SDK"
*creates a new Activity*
AS: "Nuh uh, this shit won't work without this, install it"
*runs app on emulator*
AS: "Hoooold your horses, you need to install this, and this, and update this and this.. oh and also that"
*emulator finally runs, app crashes*
AS: "Ohh, ha ha, oopsies, your Gradle config is also screwed up, change every dependency to the newest version and then update them all"
*config finally done, runs again*
AS: "Umm, I am too lazy to sync it myself, so you must press the nice big button on top to sync it"
"Fuck this"
*closes Android Studio*
AS: "WAAAIT WAIT, before you go, a new Android update just showed up, you must upd..."

FOR FUCK SAKE ANDROID STUDIO!!! 5GB RAM WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!!! I NEED THOSE VMs RUNNING AND USING 5GB IS NOT COOL AT ALL!!

I finally built a new PC with 8GB memory, i7 4790K and SSD for OS.
My old system was a core2duo with 2GB memory. Android studio used to take 20mins for gradle sync and another 20min for signing apks. "Live preview" and "emulator" was a thing of the future for me. Never used it.
But now things have changed. This thing boots up in less than 5 sec and studio gradle takes less than 30sec. I'm so happy right now! Its like a dream come true! *cries in happiness*

Hey guys, first rant,
At the moment I'm developing a very big and complex app. We are almost done and decided to deliver a test version to our customer. After he received our test he called us and said there is a problem with a function, he just said it's not working and wasn't very specific.
So I decided to check his problem, because an colleague couldn't figure it out.
I started the app via android studio and had a similar problem, there was a huge delay at the automatic recording function of Bluetooth messages, I thought yeah this is his problem.
I showed it my colleague and he said that he doesn't have this problem, we have different Bluetooth simulators so we thought that there must be a problem with the Bluetooth communication or the simulators are broken.
I checked if there is some kind of timing or buffer problem and logged the shit out of the simulator and found nothing, 3 hours were lost🏁.
My colleague checked his last changes because he had changed a lot at the App Api do to new conditions and those customer wishes💀 he couldn't found anything. So we thought maybe it's my device and the device of the customer. We switched the devices and tada no problem with my devices if the app is builded at the pc of my colleague.
I thought ok maybe it's because I turned some ndk features off. Turned it back on, nothing happened. So we exchanged our Android Studio Settings but no difference. So I said yeah whatever my mashine is just fucked. I restarted my mashine for the third time and started android fucking studio. Some little popup showed up "new updates"... the solution came to my mind ... Do to an update of android studio I excidently turned on Instant Run.....🌋 . I checked it, it was activated, these fucking instant run, great idea but not working... Turned it off, everything worked.
I called the customer because he can't have a problem and he said, this time not angry, oh yeah it was just a notification if I want to turn on my Bluetooth and I decided no and the Bluetooth recording is not recording, this is a problem... -😠NO FUCKING COMMENT😤-5 -
update for all that care:
I have successfully gotten android studio to run on a chromebook.
don't ask how.
don't ask why.
don't even ask.
but know. it's working, and it was worth it.20 -
Microsoft tools are hard drive rapists.

I like that google explains how to install Android studio after downloading it. Like people who download android studio don't know how to click next, next, next, next, install.14

!rant || personal_opinion
Yes, I fucking hate Google, but I had to try Flutter. I've been playing with it for hours now, did the great tutorial first, then went through the great docs, and I have to say I really fucking like enjoyed it, even though it's just in beta.
And it's open source software. Don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoy React, but I'll be fucked in the ass with a razor-bladed strap-on and force-fed sauted mole-rat's arseholes in cold cum sauce, if both setting up Flutter and its workflow isn't about ten orders of magnitude easier and assloads less annoying than setting up a React Native app.
I'm not a big fan of Dart's 'object-orientedness', just as I'm generally not a fan of OOP, but everything about Dart is better than having to fuck about with Java and Android Studio or having to set up dumb ass tooling that never quite works the same when you set them up the next time.
The installation and setup was completely painless, even for a web/front-end developer almost non-experienced with app development like me.
Granted, whenever I'm using Microsoft or Google software I feel a like a dirty little whore after sucking grimy cock for a measly hit, but fuck that, because now I can build Android apps without having to fuck about with Android Studio, because VS Code is a pretty decent IDE and works great with Vim bindings, so I can have the best of both worlds.
At least it's open source software. That makes me feel a little less ass-raped by my own violation of principles.22 -

-- Background --
In an attempt to reorganize my desktop I accidentally deleted a folder I called "development". In there I stored links to all my IDEs (Not sure how you call these in english), but also some workspaces like unity (Not much stuff there, processing (just some hobby stuff) AND Eclipse (FUCKING EVERYTHING RELATED TO SCHOOL WEB DEVELOPMENT). Now 3 days have passed and I realized this important folder was missing. Cleared that windows trash the instant I deleted the trash on my desktop.
> Shit, Regret
Install a file restore programm. Do every possible search. Nothing found.

Deadline was in like 3 days. Week was fucking rough so:
> "Screw this, the teacher nevet corrects the assignments and also fuck JSP"
Fast forward 2 months to last week. Teacher starts checking assignments.
> Fuck
* Sees pattern: Only students with missing or bad marks are checked. *
* Feels save *
Teacher approaching me while working on current projects.
* Doesn't feel save anymore *
> "Well, I'ld like to see your THAT programm"
> Well fuck
* Tells the truth *
> "Well that's unfortunate, but I must write a mark. Do you really have nothing to show?"
* Remember that I worked on the school pcs when I started *
> (Better than nothing. Gotta try it)
* Teacher checks programm, not pleased *
> (Fuck me, but at least it's over...)
> Nope
* Teacher calls me over *
> "With the mark I had to write today you can't reach that good mark even with a good examination, what are we gonna do about this?"
> "Well, there were other assignments that were never checked. Could we replace that mark with one of those?"
* Teacher agrees *

My best choice was an Android app we had to develop during December in pairs. I did the front end (90% of the whole work) and my partner the backend (10 %). I also did 30 % of these 10 %, because I had to review the shit he wasn't able to debug himself.
> brainlogic.exe provided by windows vista
This distribution was partly my fault since I overestimated the work needed for the backend, but also the fault of that fucker. I mean, he didn't tell me the professor already provided 90 % of the backend...
Rest of the week was really busy (always 1 or 2 things to study for each day, workout and family stuff).
Yesterday (It's past 12 already) I arrived at ~9 pm in the dorm I could finally start reviewing my code.
Internet gets shut down at 10 pm.
Gotta hurry.
* Opens project *
* Sees half a year old code *
* Fights urge to puke *
> (Alright I gotta do this. For the mark!)
* waits for gradle to index files *
* Remembers the fact that I haven't opened Android Studio in the last 2 months *
For those who don't develop with android studio: This is an equivalent to ~10k windows updates waiting to be installed
> (Well, gotta work with this kinda old version)
"gradle sync failed"
> ( Ok, just restart it. You're fine )
* Android Studio doesn't react anymore and/or renders *
* Waits 5 min *
* Restarts laptop *
* Android Studio is reacting again*
"gradle is synching"
9:45 pm: gradle is done and I can finally compile my app
> FML
* Sees App launched on phone *
* Almost pukes again *
> (This was the assigment for the UX chapter, so design doesn't matter)
UX is decent. Proceeds with testing stuff. Save paths work, but some bugs can be caused by going of it
* fixes as much as possible *
* Takes quick look at backend *
Date date = new Date (GregorianCalender.getInstance().getTimeInMillis());
C'mon, I asked you to be the backend. You got 90% of the methods already written by the teacher and had 2 months to write the interfaces to my Front end AND you come up with shits like that.
Note: this example is a minor example of brainlogic.exe
I did what I could to make improve my situation. Hopefully he doesn't discover the bugs. And If it's a backend bug then I could't care less, since that was not my job!
Wish me luck for today!10 -
Me: Yes! I'm finally ready to upload my first Android app to PlayStore, im so excited!!

My friend who is new to Android App Dev was trying to make a simple app that programmatically takes a pic then sends it as an MMS. He opened Stack Overflow, copied code and i heard him murmur "hmm this is simple". Knowing the future, and the wrath of Android Studio, i leaned into my seat and waited. 2 hours later i knew Andy Studio had pissed all over him and it was written all over his face. I walked past him as if to go to the toilet then back again, his screen was blood red with errors and my heart danced and sang.
3 hours later i was out of the room and he sent me a text saying "I give up". I replied, "well tbh, im suprised it took you that long"
Thank you Android Studio for showing all those who think all we do is copy and paste code that they are freakin retards.4 -
Goddamit! Why does hitting Ctrl+Y in android studio is set to delete a line by default? Shouldn't it be redo? Who the fuck designed it? Thank God I can reassign keyboard shortcuts in android studio.11

Me : *trying to download latest version of android studio*
Google: "Your client does not have permission to get URL /studio/index.html from this server. That’s all we know."
Me: FUCK YOU GOOGLE
Me: *googles: دانلود اندروید استودیو* (which means download android studio)
*and downloads it from a random website*
It happens every goddamn time, why the fuck i can't download this shit !? Because these countries are fighting each other all the time! What did i do wrong in my life? I just want to download your fucking app to write another shitty app to continue my fucking life. I don't know shit about this wars happening, I'm just a dev like others all over the world.
Downloading an app, is that too much to ask? Well fuck you then.

I sat down at 7pm to work on my app. Pull from Github, have a million gradle errors even though literally nothing changed, and Android Studio wants to update itself and the whole sdk. Long story short, it's now 9:56pm and I'm praying gradle doesn't fail so I can finally get to work on something...4

You may be slow Android Studio, but you are smart. And I love you for that.2 -
There is an error in almost every file, and yet this seems to work
On other days there is not even a single error and still it cracks.
Android Studio, you need to watch your drinking habits -_-

Never start watching a series while gradle is building. You end up not finishing coding your app on time instead you watch a whole season before you get back to coding.4

android studio is TERRIBLE. why cant they just make a fucking good linux installer? they're a fucking half trillion dollars company and can't get their shit together. its terribly unprofessional, and makes vim look like a god. maybe not all of us has have access to nasa's supercomputer and don't have a month for it to start.
here's a story about the installation of android studio on a (fairly high-end) chromebook running gallium:
I went to the website, which by the way could tell I was on linux but still automatically showed me the windows instructions, and downloaded android studio, 1.2 gb for fucks sake! I have a 16 gb hard drive! then it installed, and I closed it, because I was gonna use it later. I had a problem with it the first time, so I reinstalled, and halfway through the installation, IT DECIDED IT NEEDED SUPERUSER PRIVELEGES. fuck that. I restarted the installer, with sudo, and it took about switch as long this time. then, it made me redownload the sdk and all that other bloatware EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE INSTALLED IN SEPARATE FOLDERS AND ALREADY DOWNLOADED. jesus christ, google.4 -
I just made a terrible mistake 😬 finishing my Android app for school project on my Ubuntu, Android Studio opened, trillions of chrome tabs opened, Spotify opened (it's a must! 🎶🤘), simply typical school project coding. Then I wanted to fully complete design and I remembered I did some prototypes of that app using JustInMind on VirtualBox win. So I without realizing what monstrosities are already running on my poor laptop I booted it.
I'm using Ubuntu for five years now and this was the first time I had to hard-reset it 😬😬 lets hope to never do the same mistake again2 -
Fuck android studio updates, fuck OpenGL libraries, fuck nvidia graphics on Linux, fuck it all to hell.
These bullshit updates keep breaking stuff in apps, and then the emulator itself gets broken somehow, then I need to run a bullshit shell script I found on some esoteric Arch Linux forum to symlink OpenGL .so libraries on my Linux machine every time I update because fucking OpenGL and nvidia crappy drivers on Linux, which also broke my xrandr configs and segfaulted the xfce4-display app.
Seriously that's horseshit. Linux will never ever ever break through the glass ceiling and become idiot-proof non-tech user friendly like the botnets Winblows and macPrison.15 -
I am building my first android app and the hardest part is learning that ctrl + y doesn't redo an undo, but instead it deletes the current line2

With Android Studio, 90% of time I am stuck waiting for gradle builds to finish, and 10% of time I am too pissed to code anything.4

I am good to the programs I use.
I give the all the needed ram.
Except Android Studio, I don’t have a fucking server.8 -
my first day with Linux.
1. downloaded the Ubuntu 16. 04 LTS and made bootable.
2. install it on my system.
3. after installing wifi is not working.
4. searched on internet with my phone and connected my PC with USB thetering.
5. now installed wifi driver.
6. now my Nvidia card is not working installed its driver too.
6.finally i look at my desktop and its looking really ancient and old.
7. installed gnome desktop and switch to it.
8. now gnome is not much functional so added some extensions like dash to dock, dynamic transparency.
9. now setup java and android studio.
10. after that android studio font is looking blurry. finally stackoverflow made my life easy and i fixed it.
now after all this my system is working crazy fast.. Android studio is opening in just 5-6 seconds.
really happy.. 😍 😍

idk if I´m getting better in coding or Android Studio is using some "black magic" but after working on a project for like 2 hours it compiled without any error.

Everytime I open Android Studio for the first time. I look at my code and I'm like "What is this? What was I thinking?". But 30 minutes later I'm so deep into the code I'm almost in a trance. Tell me I'm not the only one.5

So I had to test an Android app I made with some friend a month ago because tomorrow we'll be presenting it in front of our teacher, and we had to recall the bugs, and change some API key (because Google changed their API policy and stuff).
I start Android Studio, it updates, I change the API key, launch the emulator and wait for the updated apk to install.
> Android Studio waits for the device to be online... wut ? The emulator has booted for 2 minutes now.
> Close the emulator, starts it again
> Emulator doesn't launch
> IDE ERROR : Unable to locate adb
> DID THE FUCKING UPDATE DELETE ADB ? ARE YOU TRYING TO MIMIC WINDOWS OR WHAT ?
> Quack the error to find where it should be
> "Launch SDK Manager, install platform-tools if it's not already in <path in explorer>"
> Not in explorer, check in SDK Manager : "Installed". wut ?
> Try to uninstall/reinstall
> "Uninstalling platform-tools... Some log messages... Stopping ADB..."
> WAIT WAT ? HOW DO YOU WANT TO STOP SOMETHING THAT'S NOT INSTALLED ?
> Doesn't stop adb (of course). Stalls. Does nothing. Still tries to stop adb. Is dumb.
> Kill Android Studio, restart, retry
> Same result.

Oh my motherfucking God...
How the fuck can a dumb IDE be so fucking slow? I entered the office at 8:15. And I am still unable to checkout a motherfucking previous version of an android app in git and get Android studio to build it, because the fucking gradle is so damn slow it freezes the GUI. WHAT. THE. FUCK. Android studio get you shit together and maybe, just maybe don't be such a dick!!!
You need 5 min to open that project and another 10 to build it ONLY FOR ME TO REALIZE THAT I HAVE TO REPEAT THAT WHOLE PROCEDURE BECAUSE I NEED A DIFFERENT APP VERSION FROM THE GIT REPO FUCK YOU YOU SHITFACED STUPID COCKSUCKING CUNT, SHIT FUCK ARRRRGH!!!
Sincerely,
Me.
Edit: now it's 9:35 btw6 -
On my system Android Studio sucks half of my RAM. Come on guys, even sharks are not that hungry for blood.
If in the worst case you had Chrome running in bg, the system will just kill itself. -
I don't get the point of spamming a link...

Android studio is a PATHETIC excuse of an IDE!! And managing a constraint layout inside a scroll view is worse than having my nails pulled out while a bamboo is growing into my spine at record time!

I just learned that you can use Android Device Monitor in Android Studio to take screenshots.
Until today I was using adb screencap -p /sdcard/filename, totally forgetting the filename, go through all the commands and see what fucking file name I used and do an adb pull. It was a lot of fucking work.2 -
In a conference video call of our tech team, someone remarked how he used to believe his laptop is so powerful until the day he installed Android Studio. To which I remarked, it takes somewhere around 10seconds on my machine to build this up. No wonder it became a butt of jokes, someone would say my laptop has a nitro-booster, or I build Hello World Programs. I literally had to show them screenshots and gradle build logs.

I hate Android Studio + Gradle. I've been stuck for 2 days, because it won't compile. Asked on SO and still nothing. The worst part is, I can't be sure what the cause is, because I've added a library and update AS before I did a compile.9
-
Why the fuck is android studio such an unoptimized POS?
It sucks up resources like a sponge.
And Gradle just pushes the cores to the max.
Simulator is a memory hogging Pos too.
I had to buy a new laptop just to run it faster.
I had
AMD A8 4500M
8gb ram, running on Ubuntu.
Now I have macbook-pro 15 in. And it still can ramp us the fans.

Saw a rant about someone not being good with coming up with strings... One of my exercise strongs is "Ananas" which is pineapple in german.

Explain to me what is in the 1.6Gb Adroid Studio download because I've spent the last 3 nights downloading a gazillion extra things over my 28 kbps satellite connection and I still have not managed to actually do anything yet.
Silly me, I thought if I get the Studio with SDK bundle that would be enough. Sigh.19 -
If there was an IDE which combines Xcodes debugging with Android Studios code completion, that would be an almost perfect IDE!
In Xcode you don‘t have to start the debugging process explicitly, you just set breakpoints while the app is running. Thats so much better than in Android Studio where you have to switch from normal running to debug mode.
In Android Studio you can use a function which is not declared yet and if you declare it afterwards, it is recogniced and can be completed by the code completion. Xcode does not know shit about undeclared funtions...5 -
I was kinda proud, when I released a new test version of my android app, since I had a couple of new features and bug fixes. As soon as I told a friend of mine about it he found a error that has never occured before in the method. This only happens in the release build. Why does it happen? BECAUSE SOME DAMM VIEWS WANT TO BE INITIALIZED AFTER DAMM THE APP HAS BEEN PAUSED/MINIMIZED1

Android studio's pro tip:
1)While installing it for the first time, just edit idea.properties(open it in notepad,its a text file with instructions already there) and change the system and caches directory to your custom defined directory with space > 8gb before installing
(Yeah that's the amount of cache generated when you have 5 projects open in parallel and when its being created in your root folder, your system hangs{personal observations, can't assure})
2) similarly click on "set custom location" and don't go with the "set recommended location" when asked where to install android studio's sdk. -
Please update your Android Studio or your computer to the newer versions and stop ranting about Gradle build time.
Please!!!2 -
Not sure if I am Allowed to ask general questions here but here's the thing. I just began making Android apps. I have made a few basic of them and I use constraint layout via the layout editor in Android Studio. Is it okay? Do professionals do the same or do they actually type in the xml code?15
-
Fuck you android studio, fedora, and my incompatibility with you. Maybe I'm just a stupid user or I'm forever treading on corner cases, but all I'm trying to do IS GET STUDIO TO SEE WHERE THE JDK IS WTF.
5 -
Spent 10 minutes investigating why I can't hit a certain breakpoint. Find out I put it on a comment by mistake.
Fuck Android Studio 😡9 -

Did you guys know that on Android studio, if you set the keymap of completing the current statement to ' ; ', every time you hit ' ; ' after you finish your line, it will auto indent it for you.
You're welcome.5 -
When you changed our SDK folders from your tiny C:\ to your big D:\ but the IDE still downloads huge updates on C:\ first, and you get "not enough disk space" errors1

I was working on an android project this morning.I started android studio.
I went and made a cup of coffee and had it,came back still gradle was building -
Finally, I made my first android music player App. ☺️☺️
.

It means u can completely run this app by voice commands😋😋

Working on my first Android app. 🤔🤷🏾♂️
I've heard mixed reviews about building Android apps. I've used Xcode to build apps before, I'm sure it's the same lol 😂20 -
I haven't tried developing any Android project in a while but once I did, holy effff Android Studio is soooooo frustrating! Even on a 7th gen i7 (granted U version) 16 GB of RAM laptop it's slow AF. But I heard a lot of people saying that it's not bad and works well even on 6 GB of RAM. What's your setup for a good experience developing with Android Studio?9

When udacity makes you do 2 full sections on XML for Android and then tells you to download Android Studio and it's like "here let me write that for you but without fucking it up"3
-
The beginning of my small app. Just a small question to the devRant community. As I am relatively new in Android app development I was wondering which layout is okay to work with?
The reason behind this question is that I have found that sometimes I'd move a component(e.g., button, text field) by a small fraction and boom! everything else is messed up.

Is the Android Build process getting slower with every update or is it just me who is experiencing that...
In the newest Android Studio Beta it went from 3m to 7m 🤦♂️
And my whole computer is blocked and not usable while compiling7 -
when the adb in your android studio is older than the adb provided by your distro and both versions are incompatible2
-
But why can’t Android Studio work out of the box?
I want to develop, Not mixture with gradle and stuff...
Time for a Power Nap.2 -
Android studio and xCode are seriously motivating me to say fuck it with native app coding. Another day, another fucking crash while in the middle of something.
Anyone here know if any of the js app development methods are any less infuriating?10 -
Can anyone transitioned from eclipse adb to android studio actually work with the damn studio?
The eclipse plugin was one hella glitchy but working with it was easy and clear. The Studio makes every fucking simple thing to science.😅6 -
Dafuq is wrong with Android Studio, build error report is useless every time I have error in one of my files I need to run gradle assemble debug manually to know where the fuck is my error
Like now I changed type of a property and as usual build report showed error in Databinding auto generated class instead of pointing to my fragment where the error should be3 -
Android Studio upgrade
Over the weekend I upgraded my android studio and the project files of my current project and all went smoothly (as far as I thought).
I did not touch the project till today as was implementing some few features only for some few unexpected bugs to creap in.Been implementing that feature for some time and thought would be done in a flash only to my disappointment.
Turns after upgrading my SDK they were some conflicting dependencies that had no idea of.
To make it worse my fall to branch was way behind the active one and had to create a new project from scratch and copy paste files.
All this after spending hours in Stack
Overflow and scratching my head.
Lesson learnt to commit more frequently.1 -
Manually having to rename 45 drawable resources for your animation because the gif-to-frame converter you used didn't let you type the filename.

I recently started learning Android development with Java, but now I'm confused if I should learn kotlin as well. What do you guys think? Kotlin > Java?6
-
What others see: He has been working on his app for 3 hours straight.
What I really do: Waiting for gradle to finish building the project for the past 2hrs. Watching cat memes on 9gag to bide time. -
Between android studio and Unity, which one si better to make a adventure text game? Why? (i'm learning, dont kill me please)8

my slow laptop.. when I run android studio, Firefox and an emulator together.
why everything is so RAM eating?8 -
For some weeks now I've been having strange compilation issues with Android Studio on Windows 10. Some of my builds fail with funny errors that have only 1-3 StackOverflow entries. When I switch to Linux (Pop!OS) it complies without errors apk gets installed on device. At some point I was frustrated where I spent a whole day trying to figure what's wrong only at night to code using Linux and it compiled. What's up with Android Dev on Windows?3
-
Thank you, mobile development. /s
Tried to create a default Navigation Drawer activity on Android Studio, result:
- Compilation erros out of nowhere
- R. couldn't compile even after cleaning and rebuilding the project
- Couldn't reverse the damage because I didn't save it before doing it (who would imagine a custom activity would do this)
- Lost 2 hours of work
I'm just not that desperate because I have the project on Github, but I'll have to make all the changes over again and it will take sometime before remembering everything. -
I still hate Android Studio :( :( :(
Worked all morning on my project, debugging, no problem.
Now all of a sudden it crashes whenever I try to debug. java.lang.ClassNotFoundException - random classes.
But it runs fine if I just run the app.
I reverted to my last working commit, and it still does that. I restarted my computer. No luck.
I disabled Instant Run. No luck.
I tried to upgrade gradle to 3.3 - no luck. That's the extent of stack overflow suggestions for similar errors.
I am stumped. What has changed in the middle of a work-session when I have not changed any settings in the IDE, have not updated anything.
Aaarrgh!7 -
I decided to give flutter a try today. Installed it via AUR.
adb devices
-1 emulators found
flutter doctor / flutter doctor -v
-No issues found
flutter emulators
-1 emulator found
flutter run
-No devices found !?!
Run button on android studio also says no devices/emulators found.
Well the first impression wasn't so great... No hello world to me :(2 -
When developing for Android, when testing algorithms or code that isn't platform specific, I always do it in a separate Java project open in eclipse instead of in the actual project. Who else does this/something similar?3
-
Just now discovered how to debug over network in Android studio. Another way to flaunt a geek look at others today ☺☺

I'm about to start learning Android development. First it's the obligatory Get Started, then a couple of Udemy courses. After doing javascript for so long, i think it'll be nice to use a strongly typed language again (Java is my first language; college you know).
But, I'm REALLY not looking forward to Gradle wasting my time--it took two minutes to even start up the IDE for the initial project.
Ah well, nothing's perfect5 -
Did any of you try using Android Studio on ChromeOS?
Does it work faster compared to bloated Windows or OS X?5 -
Was really motivated and started out with Android development.
Android studio is sick as fuck.I am struck in the second step.The only solution I can find is "try restarting your system".
Like wtf arrrgh!!
After gazillion times of restarts later. Finally, I am giving up.
Thank you google, now go f*ck yourself.9 -
Every time I try to use Android Studio in any linux distribution it makes file system read only mode and I have to use fsck command every time. Is there anybody who have the same problem as me 😐😐3
-
Do you use any other IDEs as Android Studio or Eclipse? I dont wanna use Eclipse and AS is to buggy :(. I only search an good ide for Android dev (using java)14

So, this is a story of an experience a friend of mine had with Android Studio.
As part of our semester, we are required to make an application through Android Studio, and had no previous experience with it. We started to download and install it all which were a nightmare on its own to make it work.
While i got it to work in the end, she encounterred a big issue. Her pc was named after her name, which contained letters android studio did not understand (æ,ø,å) and made it absolutely useless.
After installing and uninstalling multiple times, she ended up making and entire new user called "F#ck Android Studio" just to make it work.
No idea if there was an easier way, but damn its been hell for her4 -
Seriously why does Android studio lag so badly.I mean it's beefed up version of a text editor( I love studio for it's innumerous IDE features).It eats away my RAM and you might have guessed it right,I do have 4 GB RAM. The application takes memory that is sometimes more than that of games.3
-
I want to try some Android Development. I already have basic understanding of both C# and Java. C# even a little bit more. But the language is not the problem.
I just can not decide wether I should use Xamarin or do native development using Android Studio.
What would you suggest me, guys? :-)7 -
No Problem Android Studio, just get completly fucked up. It's not like if i would need to finish this course before thursday, no i definitly have time for this shit.
3 -
just finished a prototype for my android app, when i all of the sudden find out about flutter and dart, and i have the fucking urge to rework EVERYTHING just because i fucking hate android studio and java for it verbosity
android studio is good in basically helping you limp along with java, but when i saw how smooth dart code works, i just started getting frustrated at every little complication the android API makes at doing android things in a java way
fuck that, i'm learning dart now -
I'm starting to get annoyed with Android Studio. I generally enjoy it as far as an ide goes, but why does it need to update so often??? Seriously it feels like every time I open it I get a notification saying to update something or other.
On a somewhat related note but not actually Android Studio's fault, I have decided that IdeaVim sucks. It's good sometimes, but it can't keep up with my keystrokes, so I end up with random characters in my code because even though I hit "jj" (remapped to ESC) then start typing other commands, I end up with the next command being read as still in insert mode, then it catches up with the escape and pops me back to normal mode. It drives me crazy because then I have to go back and undo the extra characters, then redo my command and it kills my flow. I'm not even that fast of a typist, it shouldn't be that hard to keep up... -
Is there good monospaced font for windows? specially android studio, i don't know who the hell is choose this shits for MS..
MS your fonts are sucks, believe me :)6 -
What is wrong with Android Studio it used to be better just the sheer number of updates and the gradle build oh the gradle build5
-
Looks like Google totally borked Android studio in 2.2, finally had to update when my new projects wouldn't show design view anymore because of a weird rendering engine issue, now it's totally unusable on Windows.
Click into a class, 30 second wait before it responds, then I can type, until of course autocomplete pops up then it's another 30 seconds while it sorts its life out and I can type again. Given this thing 4gb of ram maximum from its default 7xx mb, even tried bumping it up to 12 for the lulz same result both times
Yes I've tried running it on Linux, works fine in Ubuntu but for some reason it won't save emulators I create and also won't launch them.
Haven't tried it under macOS, but initial research seems promising.
How do you manage to totally bork the IDE for your own platform, when the last however many releases went off without a single hitch?2 -
It took me an entire week to install Android Studio pressing retry a hundred times because of how crappy our internet is at work.
How do they expect us to work in these conditions! Some days it works alright, most days it's like pulling teeth.1 -
Just realised how frustrating it can be to setup Android Studio on Ubuntu and Windows, for React Native.
Was only using the creat-react-native-app yet, without the native code.
Feels good to finally see it working.
PS- Still can't get the emulator to work on Ubuntu 😭4 -
Aah, sometimes programmkng can be too much nerve- racking.
Yesterday i wrote a code and it has functioned well. But TODAYY i does not work.😡😡😡😡1 -
Is it just me or is android development just a pain in the ass? Ive done universal windows development before and it was great, but android just seems like a mess to me3
-
Been working on an Android app for some time. Silly me too lazy to use VCS. Anyway, one day android studio just could not build my project and errors that should not be errors popped up everywhere and nothing I did fixed the problem. Somehow my project got corrupted. 3 hours later of googling and trying to recover my project I had to resort to creating a new project and manually port the old files in one by one :( but all I have to say is WHAT THE FUCK ANDROID STUDIO3

Anyone know how to get by the "Out of Memory" error on Android Studio when an image you have is like 102941092301mb too big and it crashes your app when you debug?
pls I need help, this image looks terrible when it isn't the resolution I would like...7 -
Android Studio 3.2b4 once again regressed on "No tests found" bug for Kotlin projects.
I guess someone at big G decided to "comment out failing tests for now and come back to it before the release"
I feel like this rant should be riddled with profanity but at this point I'm not even angry just very disappointed 😥 -
