Scala + Android IDE


I am an eclipse user and android developer.

I am trying to develop android applications using scala. I managed to do an hello world once in eclipse and now I am trying to do it with Intellij IDEA, so I can choose the best option. I managed to run simple scala examples in Intellij and I am trying now to create an android application there.

The problem is: Eclipse seems a lot more EASY to build an android application with scala than Intellij. For what I have seen you need to use SBT and install a lot of "extras" to get things done.

I have seen some questions here about IDEs for Scala. But didn't find a recent question about the combo Scala + Android.

So, my question is... Should I give Intellij a try or eclipse is just fine? Is it possible to run the application on my smartphone easly with Intellij?


Solution

  • I have tried Intellij Idea but it wasn't as simple as Eclipse. You should prefer eclipse rather than using this Intellij.
