Even though I don't (yet) have good knowledge of language servers, I think this is something that will be very helpful for Qt for Android development. I created this ticket https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTCREATORBUG-24712 to follow up on this proposal. I think the ticket could also discuss any potential solutions for improving Java support for QC. > +1 > _______________________________________________ > Qt-creator mailing list > Qt-creator@qt-project.org > https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/qt-creator
