Android development is like:
- 30% of the time is coding & debugging
- 70% of the time is waiting for Gradle to build17 -
Android Development be like:
- Has great idea for app or feature
- Boots up PC
- Starts android studio and creates new project
- Build error
- Gradle build failed
- Android studio crashes
- Java Error
- Shutsdown PC
- Goes and hangs himself
Pretty accurate if you ask me 😀😀😀😎18 -
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.

Problems with Android development
1. Android Studio is shitte
2. Android API is shitte
3. Gradle is shitte
4. Emulator is shitte
5. My life is shitte23 -
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*

I have a little Gradle,
It's slow as f*king sin,
And when I'm on a deadline,
It loves to sit and spin.
Oh, Gradle, Gradle, Gradle,
It takes all goddamn day,
I guess I'll make some Ramen,
'Coz Gradle loves to play.

@No-one asked me to make a devRant related waifu but I went "why not if devRant WAS the waifu"
and this was born while waiting for compiling code (again)

Today I took the risk of upgrading my gradle to a newer version
5 and a half hours later I figured it was a bad decision.
:/13 -
Gradle, gradle, gradle,
someone made you out of bits.
Gradle, gradle, gradle,
you're a smelly pile of shit.
Gradle, gradle, gradle,
your builds take all day.
Gradle, gradle, gradle
I wish you'd go away.16 -
Me: "If today's demo to the client goes well,i will get my first cheque"
My server:"If today i stop working,it will be great"
Android Studio: "If i force a gradle update,it will be just fine".
*crying*
Fuuuuuck.Why nothing goes my way when I want it to????Whhhhyyyyy??4 -
Come on Mac... We already have industry legends like Windows updates, Gradle build etc.. you don't want to be part of that legend :(

*To the tune of the Dreidel Song*
I have a little Gradle
It's building here all day
And when it's finally ready
I can begin to code and play
Oh Gradle Gradle Gradle
You're about as slow as glue
Gradle Gradle Gradle
You're making me feel blue
Oh Gradle Gradle Gradle
You're running on Android
Gradle Gradle Gradle
You're making me annoyed
Oh Gradle Gradle Gradle
You're going to make me cry
Gradle Gradle Gradle
I think I'm going to die
Why won't you work already
This isn't that damn hard
My temper isn't steady
Gradle you're a piece of lard

-- 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.
> Big shit
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 *
> (Srly bless this guy for that support)
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 -
You've got to love Android development.. :D Just grabbed my laptop to start working on an idea I just had. Launched Android Studio to do some quick coding..
Update for the repo's..
Update for the IDE itself..
Update for gradle..
Started project. Need to update my build tools..
I.. I.. I just wanted to do some quick coding :D
*edit* Just tried to run the project.. "Acceleration driver is out of date, please update Haxm" .. Damnit..9 -

When gradle builds for over 1 hour and you start thinking how life would have been much easier if you were a panda.

April fools day prank idea:
1. Replace all semicolons with Greek question marks
2. Add a Gradle task that automatically fixes the semicolons, but only when run on the build servers
3. Watch as people get confused because the code builds in the server but not locally3 -
I don't know which should make me worry:
1. the fact a gradle build for a new project is taking 90% of CPU
2. The fact CPU Freq isn't going higher than 2.18 when it can go up to 3.1?
3. The fact gradle is always taking 5 minutes to build when it used to take 1 minute for a medium project?

Ability to complaining about "Gradle is too slow in my laptop!" to my dad to get a better one.
Saying thanks to Google.5 -
I know people complain about Android Gradle takes so long to build (and I know the reason why, thanks to @DRHAX34) but for me that isn't what I have to wait for.
It's the shitty WiFi at work that causes issues/bugs I'll never experience normally lol
When my app builds I have to also connect to the internet and check for updates against the umbraco server, and it works if it fails to connect (naturally) but our internet somehow manages to stay connected enough to trick the app into doing continuous checks or some form of tiny and long downloads
I've been tempted and sometimes do use my own mobile data which would waste my tiny data (at the time)
Anyways fuck you shiternet lol -

There is a difference between faster and less slower.5 -
Doing a gradle build on my old lappy.
Laptop is hot af, cooler running at full power, a simple terminal application like vim or htop take ~10 seconds to start up. Hardware is dying.

I always thought android people were just a little bit whiny, but now that I'm developing an app in my free time I feel you.

I dont even know what gradle is but based purely off of the rants on here I'm never going to use it.7

So I've decided to go about converting a Java project that I've been working on to Kotlin a little bit at a time. I started out with basic entity classes converting them to simple `data class`es in Kotlin.
Eventually, I got to my first beast of a class to refactor. This class had over 40 service classes depending on it, so even a little hiccup would throw everything into chaos.
I finish all of the changes on all of the dependent classes, update the tests, and the configurations (as necessary), and I was finally ready to spin up the app to test for any breaking changes I may have introduced...
Well - I broke everything! But I was sure I couldn't have! So what the hell happened?
Turns out that as I was building my project with a Gradle watch, at one point something failed to compile, which threw an unhandled exception in the gradle daemon that was never reported.
So when I tried to run my app, gradle would continually re-throw the error in the app I asked it to run...
After turning the daemon off and on again, the app worked like a charm.

The fact that gradle needs an active internet connection ever makes me want to punch a baby.
Why is lousy software being allowed to take over... gradle, systemd, networkmanager, visual studio, c#... sometimes I feel like the shittier it is and the better the alternatives are the more people go for it11 -
My Android Studio couldn't build Gradle even after fuckin' 42 minutes. Finally I had to force stop it.

That moment when you try showing an issue to your senior developer and gradle takes forever to build.

If you start your Gradle build at 11:50 pm on New Years Eve, you'll be able to start resolving your compile time errors by the time the clock strikes midnight.

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

Making my android application in like 9 months.
Feeling good, except that Gradle is hanging in my 16GB RAM, is it required to have 512GB?6 -
So today installed this plugin on all my compatible JetBrains IDEs:
https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugi...
Especially as an Android dev I look at Gradle build progress bars about 99% of the time, so better make them look great while I'm at it.7 -
Does anyone feel overwhelmed by all the new technologies? It's like every developer nowadays code in JS, and knows ES6, React, webpack, babel by heart. I have been working in Java for less than a decade and sometimes feel like I can't catch up. Even in Java ecosystem there is now Scala, Groovy, Gradle, Kotlin... Not to mention other languages like Python, Swift... How do you guys have time to pick up everything?? 😖8

My friend ha just big exam in their programming class. They got the assignment week before and were allowed to use libraries. They were using Java and Maven repos. He created his own Maven repo and added finished assignment as a library. He just added his repo to the gradle project and selected his library as a dependecy. He then created one class with main method, 10 lines of user input and called main method from his library. Since the school newly tests students work automatically, he instantly passed with 100% and had to look like hes actually working for next 3 hours 😂. Noone noticed anything after 2 weeks 😂1

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

"Will update my Android app I" thought.
"Haven't updated it in 2 years and summer vacations are here so now's the time", I thought.
Opened Android Studio. It notified me of an update for the IDE. "I'll update it, because (stable) IDE updates are always good", I thought.
Then it notified me of updates to the SDK and libraries. "I'll update those too, because (stable) SDK and library updates are always good", I thought.
Then it notified me to update to the latest recommended version of Gradle. "I'll update that too, because (stable) Gradle updates are always good as they almost always reduce build time", I thought.
"Now I can finally get to updating my app", I thought. But no!
Gradle then tells me that the compileSdkVersion needs to be the latest, so I change it to 26. Done? Not so fast!
It then tells me that targetSdkVersion should match the compileSdkVersion or else some compatibility modes would apply, and I didn't want that, so I change it too to 26. Then it tells me that I would also need to update the support libraries to v26. I do that too. And then when I sync the project files with Gradle, what does it tell me? THAT IT FAILED TO RESOLVE ANY OF THE UPDATED LIBRARIES! Not even the initial version (26.0.0), neither it's alpha nor it's beta. Now I'm stuck searching on StackOverflow and elsewhere about updating the libraries and all, when I just really want to update my app :/
Can't this whole IDE, SDK, Gradle and library update process be automated, and that too in the background, so that I can do exactly what I really want to do rather than waste so much of my time on this nonsense?! If it can't, then I want to work on making that happen first before anything else. Because seriously, "This sucks! Why did I even update any of this?", is what I now think.3 -
Me: I hate Windows/PHP/Gradle builds/etc
Other devRanters: Did we just became friends?
Me: friends is undefined. Please go to StackOverflow for undefined error.
*I'm still socially awkward* -
Was running low on ssd space, so I decided to have a thorough look at what was occupying all of it. First I found out that I had about 5 gigs (!) of leftovers from microsoft sql server which I unfortunately had to use once (thanks microsoft for your shit uninstallers). Then I found I still had a .gradle folder (uninstalled a while ago, maven ftw) with another 5 gigs of cache. That should give me some room to breathe.4
-
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 -

So this happened with me today.
Me: Will you be Gradle of my Android Studio?
Girl (Designer): I can't build you.
Despite the negative, my affection increased twice fold on her now. -
Fuck Java and its related build tools.
Decided to throw caution to the wind and actually try to build a Java project, from scratch.
Install intellij, except it keeps complaining about the missing JDK, openjdk is installed but it doesn't like it.
Ok, whatever, I read that it's supposed to come with its own and so I point at that, no dice.
Ultimately I stumbled upon a stackoverflow post saying to just download the tgz JDK and just use that, I knew I could do that, but I wanted to use the tools the P environment suggested, but gave up.
Ok, so now I've got intellij and JDK installed, and I want to start my automatically generated project.
Except I now need gradle, fine, whatever, and now gradle complains it can't find the JDK...
Fucks sake... I was happy using Lein and Clojure, I didn't realise how fucking complicated it is to set up a Java IDE these days...10 -

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
-
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.
-
Tbh Myself ... Ive always admired people who do awesome things and for quite a time I thought if myself as incapable to do something like that, and whenever I tried I either failed or just dropped the project, so I had to learn to believe in myself and to use dissapointments as a building platform and dont let em discourage me.4

What the f*** is this gradle in Android Studio??
M getting tired with this error. Whenever m starting studio it stuck on waiting for build to finish project.. I already done with checking offline work still it's not working.. What the f*** should I do with this error??11 -
We're all on gradle and we had a new guy who started a project with Maven. He also used atom editor for Java/Scala code (even though we had a license for Intellij), and refused to use anything with code completion (or turned it off if there was an option). My boss had to explain basic git branching to him, his pull requests were missing build files, READMEs and he'd check in tons of scripts to run things instead of using maven/gradle.
I just thought he was weird, but I didn't look at his pull requests close enough to realize how bad his code was, until they fired him earlier this week. -
Fuck Android Studio and Gradle!
Especially Gradle, you fucking slow RAM consuming shit!
It consumed like all of my RAM and my computer is lagging like shit
It can't even import my SVG!
Because of frustration I accidentally hard reset my local git repo and lost 3 hours of work!11 -
What the hell is wrong with android studio?! I want to try android app developmemt but whenever I launch the android studio it tells me that it needs updates to continue, that too are damn large, then it'll say grandle sync is not working, sometimes it will freeze and sometimes it will give random bullshit issues. It's the single piece of shit that never want to work!7
-
I don't know If I should blame Gradle and the Android emulator for my computer freezing (cuz out of memory), or I should blame myself for not having a powerfull enough comouter?12
-
since everybody seems to hate gradle i would like to say how much i like gradle for its possibility to build even big java projects from the commandline without the need of a a lot o scripts and especially the possibility to create a wrapper in order to use it even when its not installed on said machine.
it is the only reason why i am learning java now (i fucking loathe eclipse at the moment).
and regarding its speed. i had both. windows and linux. and for some reason i could only verify its slowliness on windows.2 -
Is it just me or is Java really uninspiring as a language? And are there any Java build tools that don't sound like 90-year-old women? Maven, Gradle...3
-
!rant
I have been testing out Manjaro and I have to say I'm impressed! Im currently running it on a 2009 hp pavillion(1.8Ghz CPU 2GB ram) and it is super responsive and even ran intellij! Gradle took a while but that's to be expected!
Should I switch my main os from Ubuntu to Manjaro? I need reasons for and against!16 -
Well, look at the brighter side Android developers, that long time gradle takes to build gives you the much needed break, doesn't it?4
-
First time trying Android development.
Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuude, why is Gradle like that. (Might be my fault since I'm fairly new)1 -
If you look at some of my rants ~2017.12.30 you can see that I f*** up a project's dependency management. After multiple days of failing to fix the issue, I ended up makeing a new project and starting over( with copy and paste, of course). And it works. To this day, I still don't know why It didn't work in the old project.1
-
tl:dr
i fucking hate that professor for whom i have to work on laboratory project right now.
reason#1
the project is using a stack full with java. JavaScript. react and some weird facebook api of which i have no clue about. not to mention the server side of this application which uses tomcat (ok its java after all) and sql.
well that wouldn't be not so bad if...
reason#2
we wouldn't have to fucking debug his mistakes he put into the fucking prepared code AND his fucking useless instructions how to set up the project for eclipse the first time. not to mention his fucking requirements which make no sense
oh yeah im a student. i can always go and ask him for help if i need any...
reason#3
i have another 70% mandatory course at the same time and that fucker refuses to upload hos sheets in moodle and answer even one fucking question via mail. not to mention no support if I am there unless i have eclipse setup. even through the projects should be build using gradle...
reason#4
oh. and have i mentioned that this course is only about design patterns? uts not like we could see several of them in a java only application. no we literally have to learn java itself. gradle. nodejs JavaScript Extended for react which i have no clue about at the moment... and yes i especially mentioned gradle and nodejs beccause we have to set shit up and not only use a script.
reason#5
and all that wont even give us a grade. no ita simply a pass or fail part of the module which the course is part of.
have i also mentioned that the whole shit should be done in 20 hours according to the schedule9 -
Took over an Android Studio project with Gradle. Here are my results:
Time to make code changes: 1 hour
Time to setup, configure, and build app: 1000 years -
Getting settled on a new team. They are using this custom built Dependency manager/Build tool. I’ve now wasted 2 weeks trying to get it up and I haven’t started my actual issue item yet.... sigh I wish I was on the team that uses Gradle.2

Wow I really feel with you my dear Java developers.
Since I am working on a Custom Launcher for devCraft I now know how bad gradle is.17 -
Yea waiting for Gradle to build is rough and all but have you tried to download a simple 1.4gb image from raspberrypi.org and it's taking over an hour because potato hosting speeds1

Not sure if it is because my computer is older, but my demo app is taking forever for gradle to build! Now I can procrastinate without feeling bad! 😁😁

Please update your Android Studio or your computer to the newer versions and stop ranting about Gradle build time.
Please!!!2 -
To Android developers:
ALWAYS use annotations for service classes when using minifyEnabled option in build.gradle!! I learn it in the hard way 😐 -
Client: How many days do you need for this project
Me: 6 months
Client: That's too much. I researched and found that it shouldn't consume more than 3 months
Me: I'm sure you didn't researched on gradle building process (-_-) -
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 -
I started with my first Android project. Here are some of my observations.
Turning of fossil into fuel - 650 million years
Transformation of a star into supernova - 10 billion years
Complete gradle build - fuckzillion years2 -
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 -
Spent entire fucking day trying to get gradle to download library from internal artifactory because java didnt recognize the ca root cert i placed in java jre cacerts file. Goddamnit

Is it just me or does everybody on this website hate Android Studio and Gradle? I read like one rant a day where someone is whining about the slowness of Gradle or the ram usage of Android Studio2

Android Studio and Gradle -- because sometimes you just need to practice unplugging your computer.1
-
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. -
Working on a project.
New gradle update comes out.
Updates his gradle.
Nothing works anymore!
Moral of the story.
This is why you should mind your own business. -

Finally managed to build my apk without Android Studio or Gradle. That was pretty fucking annoying to do, but now I've got a build.sh and it's cool…1

Who the fuck thought java development is okay on a VDI ! Eclipse runs shit even on local environment and running it on a vm located in a different country with 3gb of vram?
You want to do a file search? Wait for 5mins
You want to. Build via gradle. Wait for 15 min
Fucking idiots.1 -
android studio is telling me code didnt change, i really getting sick of that...
every time a manual gradle build and then start the app...
also cant get single line input working...4 -
Just had a complete nerd-gasm as I finally got my gradle plugin script to perform multi-module releases correctly and efficiently

Waiting for Gradle build is bad enough, but also waiting for ADB install to complete too:
$ adb install Foo.apk
* daemon started successfully *

.......Okay, it's 100%, let's finish this up...
<5 minutes later>

Well I used to be that guy who was always cursing gradle sync but I realize I was just preparing myself for this, the next level!

Gradle,Android Studio
Boss: Great job can we change the UI by using a custom view..
Me:Hesitating a bit sure we can.Head back to my station and consult Stack overflow and start implementing.
Boss:Five minutes later you done and how is it so far.
Me:Am done am just rebuilding and cleaning my project yet in reality ain't done.Gradle built time to my rescue.
Boss:How comes it taking long yet you got a high end machine okay then let it built.
Me: Breathing a sigh of relief thanks gradle1 -
When I moved to another company there was Android app, with 5K lines of HTTP Service class, with apache legacy library, with maven and tons of garbage.
now, it has gradle, multiple build types, flavors, multiple source sets, RxJava, Java 8, ButterKnife, modular dependency, I always do profiling and APK analyze and tons of essential and cool features.
Project started last year but what the heck?
Dude, I will find you,and I will kill you!1 -
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 -
I'm developing Android apps for my pastime (student on summer break) and will use my phone for running/debugging apps because my shitty laptop can't run the emulator.
If receive a call when I'm using the phone for debugging, I'm not picking it up. Even if it's a friend with whom I've not spoken in weeks. That call has to wait for my gradle to finish building.
Of course, I try to call back as soon as possible but that sometimes means an hour or two when I decide to get up from my laptop.
I'm not sorry8 -
🤤🤤🤤I seriously just spent the whole day trying to fix something that looked like it was ProGuards fault, but it turns out fuckimg Gradle plugin and android studio shat all over every version of every project on my home.
Literally 15 hours wasted.
Defeated in an Uber going back home direct to bed with only a single meal today
Tomorrow can't go worse I guess.
At least I get that going for me.
Hope your day was better -
I started to learn Kotlin today and am already confused:
Is there any difference between between Ant, Maven and Gradle?2 -
I have tried so hard to add some dependencies on react-native (android). Always fails when build gradle, many dependencies are mismatch.
Go fuck my project.2 -
This cunt android studio, asshole. Every fucking day it would show me a pop up saying, "hey, update gradle", I always ignored it until today and that mofo has fucked up my project. Spent last 3 hours debugging as to why it is not able to resolve dependencies which were working fine earlier. And every time I click on "try again" it will resolve the dependency which it wasn't able to earlier but instead find a new one to fuck with and throw an error. Had to come back to old version resume my work FFS.2
-
My favorite tools include:
Source tree(git life saver)
Stickies on my dock(I can randomly put any shit on it and keep it for months)
Android studio(love shorcuts except gradle)
My moto x smartphone (helps me in debugging) -
Oh Good job you fucking gradle and InteliJ that telling me the specific fucking error you pice of shits.
-
Either I missed it in the docs or Google actually changed it, spent 15 minutes trying to figure out why my app isn't building and why build log is not showing anything other than: Build failed
Until I manually ran gradle build process instead of making Android studio execute it.
Am I missing something? .-. -
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

Today I made some tests with flutter, I really liked it :)
What I didn't like was the time that Android studio takes to load, the memory it uses, and the time of gradle builds. I'll be using nvim, so, half of the problems are solved.2 -
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

So, I have multiple modules, each has build.gradle file. Why is it everytime I run, it refreshes all indexes and doing grail build run?1

Spent half a day trying to setup a proper javadoc aggregation mechanism for a multi module gargle project. Urgh.. Why isn't there a good plugin to do this?
Can someone help me if they are aware of an existing plugin that works for gargle to do this?

Current side project: A Gradle plugin to automate the build.gradle for Minecraft mods through ForgeGradle, Minecraft Forge, CurseGradle, Maven, and soon, Git changelogs.

Firebase api is good simple and alright but when you want to add it to your android project , you want TO KILL YOURSELF. OK first gradle works then say oh you should update your gradle you update it . then it says cannot resolve firebase:core WHaaaaT? OK YOU SEARCH FIREBASE API FOR AN ANSWER THERE IS NOTHING THERE. then stack overflow come to your help you should update some FUCKING package that firebase didnot mention you should update and all this time you say dns is wrong , firebase is filtered your country again, and after you update thise tow package you found out that you should update your android studio too for just one line code(firebase mentioned this but I said noooo it's just optional) .2

Wanted to install gradle on my raspi to build some projects for tomcat 7. I installed and configured tomcat7 already. Then i wanted to install gradle and i've got the following message from apt-get:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
gradle : Depends: libtomcat6-java but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libjetty-extra-java but it is not going to be installed
It turns out, there is a dependency bug, and you can't install tomcat7 with cradle, because jetty depends on tomcat6.
Whaaaat? -
Why does it have to be so difficult to get unit tests to run? Spent about an hour yesterday trying to get a single test class to run and it kept complaining about a compiler error in a completely different module. Went to the file and there was no error. WTF?!
In the end, checking the “delegate build actions to gradle” box made it go away. why..... -
I hate tooling around Scala with libGDX so much - Gradle, Gradle Android plugin and ProGuard are just awful.
For example today I got during compilation: "Warning: Exception while processing task java.io.IOException: Please correct the above warnings first."
Grepping build log for (case insensitive) "warn" returns only the message above to correct warnings.
What the hell? I am required to correct not existing or invisible warnings or what? I hate you Gradle and ProGuard, I really do! >:( -

Java and scala development:Intellij+gradle
Git: Gitlab + gitkracken
APIs: postman, insomnia
Scripted languages (most favourite to least ): Brackets(#1), Sublime, vscode, Atom
Others: Docker + Portainer, Visual studio (when playing with C#), geany for light works -
Where is the mac vs ubuntu vs windows war for developers? I am a Windows user (on a dell latitude e5570), but I am considering a new laptop because everyone says macbooks are great and outperform windows (which on gradle builds is true).
I mainly use my laptop only for developing and programming things like: full-stack, Android and a little bit of deeplearning/ML.
So which one would you recommend and why? These are pretty heavy tasks, from my opinion.10 -
Run ./configure and gmake directly, it works.
Run a gradle script with exec tasks that runs the same commands, and the binary doesn’t run complaining about a library.
Fuck you AIX.
I haven’t fully root-caused it yet. I’m assuming something is fucking up during configure. -
You know that a work ethic of a big company is still backwards when they distribute an Android SDK still as a JAR file. Gross.4

I find it odd that people rant about Gradle and long build times but don't want to fix Gradle itself.

when you get married after you start a gradle build, and then the build finishes 5 years into the marriage and you get divorced bc the software idea was garbage anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

HELP: yesterday I discovered why my Gradle build takes so fucking long every time, but I still don't know how to fix it. for some reason, it sees the node_modules folder as NEVER "up-to-date", and so every single time I run 'gradle war_exploded' it copies the entire node_modules folder into the war, even of nothing has changed. any ideas?2

till a build sequence finishes, i end up checking #twitter, #facebook, #quora, #reddit two times on average.

#build
#gradle
Every time I fix a Java exception and JavaScript doesn't complain about the changes.
