Google licensed IntelliJ IDEA and used it to make Android Studio. Android StudioĪndroid Studio is more of a “kitchen sink” approach to an IDE. The practical effect of this is that if you are working between your services and your UI layer, you have to switch back and forth between both files until you eventually solve the issue. Or you can try to reopen the same project in another instance of Visual Studio Code. You can split your tabs so that one window is split down the middle. Moreover, it doesn’t seem like it’s getting this functionality any time soon.

This is invaluable, as at various times I can effectively work on two parts of my app at the same time. However, something that I have been doing for years in every IDE that I have used is to tearing off the tabs from the top. Visual Studio CodeĮverything you would expect to be there: debugging, breakpoints, etc. Most of the functionality is exposed by typing in the thing you need into the top search bar. Visual Studio Code is an editor that favors simplicity over having an endless assortment of bells and whistles.

In this article, Lewis Cianci compares these two tools in three key areas. It usually boils down to either Visual Studio Code or Android Studio. Something more general about how to start and deal with porting a software project of this size is also very welcome, since I don't know nothing about it.When it comes to the tools we use to develop our Flutter apps, there are two main contenders. Is anybody experienced about this or something similar and can give some tips how to start with it? As I said, I first need a concept. Of course I know, that basically I have to remove everything that is Visual/Windows specific and replace it with appropriate Android/Linux functions or implement something new if there is nothing corresponding on Android.īut since this project is somewhat huge, I can't just try to compile it with the correct compiler and work through the error messages, this will lead to nowhere, I guess. I tried searching online for some stuff or for some books covering this, but I found nothing. I have absolutely no idea know where to start, also I don't know how to get to a concept for porting it. It is a Visual Studio solution which consists of 28 projects of which most are kind of big.Īnd now I need to develop a concept for porting it to Android, and this is why I'm writing this. I had a few days to get to know the project I will be working with a little. The problem is that I don't know a thing about porting software, since this is not covered in my studies. It is a Visual C/C++ Project which in the end should run on Android using of course the NDK.

In my recently started internship (I'm studying computer science), I have to port a somewhat big existing Project to Android.
