Android development on Sublime Text 2

Question

I wanted to start development for Android, but it was very difficult for me to configure everything so that it worked on Sublime Text 2.

I know that I have to download and configure the Android SDK, but how, where and why? And how do I compile my projects and run them? For me it is a complete secret.

I have been doing this for about 3 hours and have not been successful. Can any of you please help me by guiding me through the installation process of everything in ST2?

Please note that I do not want to use the Eclipse IDE. I loved ST2 and I would like to stick with that.

Answer 1

I know that I have to download and configure the Android SDK, but how, where and why?

Go to the official website and follow the instructions for the “other / existing IDE”. I do not think anyone wrote specific instructions for using Sublime, though (since you did not find it).

And how do I compile my projects and run them? For me it is a complete secret.

As others other than the JDK have already reported, you will most likely need to download and run Ant from the command line.

Answer 2

If you really want to start developing Andriod without using a lot of IDE support, such as Intelji Idea or Eclipse, you should study the creation and launch of your applications on the command line next to Sublime Text 2

Answer 3

If you follow the instructions for using the Andrew program module from github, you can get an exalted message with the android sdk and ant build tool using a tool called a monitor.

A view similar to the vim admin that I used to talk to the eclipse service.

But if someone else is reading this, intellij (android studio) stumbled upon speed and autocomplete.

Eclipse and IntelliJ are well-known supported IDEs for Android development. If you do not want to use Eclipse or IntelliJ, read the ant scripts and how to build with Ant. That should get you started.

Sublime Text 2, right now does not support Android development from the IDE. The only option you use other than using Ant is to wait for someone to write a plugin for this.
