Joe Bowser commented on CB-3445:
--------------------------------
I don't believe that Google is officially moving away from Eclipse just yet.
Android Studio isn't even at 1.0 yet, and while I'm not a huge fan of Eclipse,
I consider IntelliJ's flow to be MUCH, MUCH worse. Every version of Android
Studio that I've tried managed to totally screw up my project, and when talking
to other Android devs, they say the same thing. The move from JARs to
libraries was partly done because of Android Studio, and we've had Cordova
projects build in Android studio. That being said, I don't feel that Android
Studio is stable enough or useful enough that it is worth my time to work on
currently.
This is definitely an area where IntelliJ fans who like how Android Studio
works can run with this.
> Move Cordova-Android Build Setup to Gradle
> ------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CB-3445
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-3445
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Android
> Reporter: Joe Bowser
> Priority: Minor
>
> Currently we're using ant for our setup, and our setup can break every time
> that the Android SDK updates and change its build.xml. However, the Android
> Team has created Gradle to be more robust such that it doesn't have the same
> problems as ant-based scripts.
> This also has the advantage of using Android Studio for development instead
> of Eclipse, and the ability for us to bundle resources, which is something we
> haven't been able to do before.
> Moving to Gradle has numerous advantages, but will break scripts, so this is
> to be moved in the post-3.0 timeframe.
