I installed sublime text on a new machine, the first time I went to compile java it asked me Ant/JavaC.
I accidentally clicked Ant, is there absolutely no way to change it? It doesn't look like it's in syntax-specific or normal settings.
You can change which build system is used from the Tools menu -> Build System when the Automatic one isn't suitable, or Tools menu -> Build With to choose a different variant.
ST tracks this in the session/workspace, rather than a user facing preferences file.
I have a trouble to add a package under one of the flavor folder in Android Studio: after I right click on the java folder and I could not see the 'Package' or 'Java Classes' options there!
I did exactly the same for another flavor and it was fine.. Now I am stuck here, without knowing if it is a bug in AS or I did anything there. Anyone help me please!
(I googled it and did not solve it with what I have found so far)
=======EDIT========
I close the project and create a brand new empty project, now even in the main folder I cannot find the 'Java Classes' or 'Package' when I right click on the java folder I added.
However, if I just create the folders of the package under java with a class there, and do a build, it will finally recognize that and make java blue color and then I am able to see the menus if I right click the blue java folder.
So it sounds like some bug in AS.
It might just be the build flavor you are currently selected correctly to enable that flavor.
If we have two build flavor let's say free and pro. If pro is selected is current build flavor. The flavor free will not be shown as java package in blue color as you mentioned, it will be shown as directory structure. Hence change the build variant and make it workable.
Not sure if you faced the same issue, but sharing it for reference of others who might face this issue as i faced now.
Package option is available only for selected flavor. switch to desired flavor and IDE will refer that source directory and will convert it to package and directories from other flavors will be listed as normal directories tree structure.
I found this Solution.
File > Project Structure > Select the lib folder > Click on Sources > Apply and Okay
Now you can see the new package option by right clicking the lib folder, the new package option will be shown.
Step1
Step2
Step3
Control click (mac), or right click the /java directory and select Mark Directory As -> Source Root. You should then be able to right click the /java directory and select -> New -> Package. Your java directory will also appear blue.
Solution. File- Project Structure- Modules- Right click on lib - Select Sources.
then the option "Package" will appear on your list.
Whenever I open any solution in VS2012 from local path (which is mapped in TFS), the files are automatically checking out. I want to disable this feature.
I tried to disconnect from TFS and to work on it, But it is closing the solution. Plesase help me out in achieving this. I didn't get this problem before when I was using VS2010
You need to unbind your project(s) from TFS source control.
Select the project or solution from the Solution Explorer
From the main menu select File->Source Control->Advanced->Change Source Control...
Select one or all projects and press the "Unbind" button on the top of the dialog
select ok to the warning popup
You can later bind the projects again, personally I don't do this so I can't say how well it works. I found some more info here
Here are the visual steps:
This brings up the dialog to select projects to bind/unbind.
I had to select one at a time.
Select "Unbind" for each project
Here's what it should look like when unbound.
You can later come back and bind the projects again and TFS will try and reconcile your changes.
Try rather change Checked-in items (Saving, Editing) to 'Prompt for check out'
Tools -> Options -> Source Control -> Enviroment -> Checked-in items
Disable the following option. It should solve your problem.
Tools -> Options -> Source Control -> Enviroment -> Get everything when a solution or project is opened
For those times when you want to isolate the Java and give it a quick test..
Can you run non-Android Java projects in Android studio as in Eclipse?
Tested on Android Studio 0.8.6 - 3.5
Using this method you can have Java modules and Android modules in the same project and also have the ability to compile and run Java modules as stand alone Java projects.
Open your Android project in Android Studio. If you do not have one, create one.
Click File > New Module. Select Java Library and click Next.
Fill in the package name, etc and click Finish. You should now see a Java module inside your Android project.
Add your code to the Java module you've just created.
Click on the drop down to the left of the run button. Click Edit Configurations...
In the new window, click on the plus sign at the top left of the window and select Application
A new application configuration should appear, enter in the details such as your main class and classpath of your module.
Click OK.
Now if you click run, this should compile and run your Java module.
If you get the error Error: Could not find or load main class..., just enter your main class (as you've done in step 7) again even if the field is already filled in. Click Apply and then click Ok.
My usage case:
My Android app relies on some precomputed files to function. These precomputed files are generated by some Java code. Since these two things go hand in hand, it makes the most sense to have both of these modules in the same project.
NEW - How to enable Kotlin in your standalone project
If you want to enable Kotlin inside your standalone project, do the following.
Continuing from the last step above, add the following code to your project level build.gradle (lines to add are denoted by >>>):
buildscript {
>>> ext.kotlin_version = '1.2.51'
repositories {
google()
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.3'
>>> classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
...
Add the following code to your module level build.gradle (lines to add are denoted by >>>):
apply plugin: 'java-library'
>>> apply plugin: 'kotlin'
dependencies {
implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
>>> implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:$kotlin_version"
>>> runtimeClasspath files(compileKotlin.destinationDir)
}
...
Bonus step: Convert your main function to Kotlin! Simply change your main class to:
object Main {
...
#JvmStatic
fun main(args: Array<String>) {
// do something
}
...
}
EDIT: many moon after this question was asked, yes, now apparently you can.
No, but it's based on Intellij IDEA.
The community version of that is free for download but it doesn't support most things requiring an external database or application server. The line for Java is pretty much that JavaSE code can happily use Community.
If you want that (or are using JavaEE) then you either need the Ultimate version, which isn't free, or the EAP of the next version which is usually good for a month until they release another.
Basically it works like this
Android Studio is just Android the Android Stuff from IDEA 13 Community...
...which will be free, and is anything from IDEA 13 Ultimate...
...that doesn't require a database or app server.
http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/
IDEA 12 Community doesn't have the ability to import the gradilized project and it won't, so while you can do Android development in it now (I do), don't expect it to have the same features as Android Studio. There's a lot of good new Android stuff in it, that's going into 13.
Easy way to run a java program in Android Studio would be,
Create a java Class says "Test.java" in Android Studio.
Write your code eg, a Hello World program to test.
Right-click on the Java class and:
select the option Run 'Test.main()'
or
press CTRL + SHIFT + F10 (on windows) or control + R (on Mac)
There you have your Java code running below.
With Android Studio 0.6.1+ (and possibly earlier) you can easily develop standard Java (non-Android) apps.
This method has been tested on 0.8.2:
Start by creating a vanilla Android Phone app, using File > New Project. Then add a Java Library module to hold your Java Application code. (Choose 'Java Library' even if you're building an application). You'll find you can build and run Java apps with main() methods, Swing apps etc.
You'll want to delete the auto-generated Android "app" module, which you're not using. Go to File -> Project Structure, and delete it (select the "app" module in the box on the left, and click the 'minus' icon above the box). Now when you reopen File -> Project Structure -> Project, you'll see options for selecting the project SDK and language level, plus a bunch of other options that were previously hidden. You can go ahead and delete the "app" module from the disk.
In 0.6.1 you could avoid creating the android module in the first place:
Go to File > New Project. Fill in your application name. On the "form factors" selection page, where you state your minimum Android SDK, deselect the Mobile checkbox, and proceed with creating your project.
Once the project is created, go to File -> Project Structure -> Project, and set your JDK as the "Project SDK". Add a Java Library module to hold your application code as above.
Here's exactly what the setup looks like.
Edit Configurations > '+' > Application:
I found a somewhat hacky, annoying and not-completely-sure-it-always-works solution to this. I wanted to share in case someone else finds it useful.
In Android Studio, you can right-click a class with a main method and select "Run .main()". This will create a new Run configuration for YourClass, although it won't quite work: it will be missing some classpath entries.
In order to fix the missing classpath entries, go into the Project Structure and manually add the output folder location for your module and any other module dependencies that you need, like so:
File -> Project Structure ...
Select "Modules" in the Project Settings panel on the left-column panel
Select your module on the list of modules in the middle-column panel
Select the "Dependencies" tab on the right-column panel
And then for the module where you have your Java application as well as for each of the module dependencies you need:
- Click "+" -> "Jars or directories" on the far right of the right-column panel
- Navigate to the output folder of the module (e.g.: my_module/build/classes/main/java) and click "OK"
- On the new entry to the Dependencies list, on the far right, change the select box from "Compile" to "Runtime"
After this, you should be able to execute the Run configuration you just created to run the simple Java application.
One thing to note is that, for my particular [quite involved] Android Studio project set-up, I have to manually build the project with gradle, from outside Android Studio in order to get my simple Java Application classes to build, before I run the application - I think this is because the Run configuration of type "Application" is not triggering the corresponding Gradle build.
Finally, this was done on Android Studio 0.4.0.
I hope others find it useful. I also hope Google comes around to supporting this functionality soon.
I installed IntelliJ IDEA community version from http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/
I tried opening my project that I started in Android studio but it failed when at gradle build. I instead opened both android studio and intellij at same time and placed one screen next to the other and simply drag and dropped my java files, xml layouts, drawables, and manifest into the project hiearchy of a new project started in IntelliJ. It worked around the gradle build issues and now I can start a new project in IntelliJ and design either an android app or a basic Java app. Thankfully this worked because I hated having so many IDEs on my pc.
I have been able to do it using following steps:
Open Android Studio and select 'Import Project'.
Browse to your project folder in the browse window and select it.
Tested in Android Studio 0.8.14:
I was able to get a standard project running with minimal steps in this way:
In an open Android Studio project, click File > New Module.
Click More Modules > Java Library > Next, then fill in whatever you prefer for the names.
A new module will appear as a folder on the same level as your "app" folder in the Project Structure. Open it and open the new Java class file.
You can then add your code, and choose Build > Run 'YourClassName'. Presto, your code is running with no Android device!
It works perfect if you do File>Open... and then select pom.xml file. Be sure to change the dropdown at the top-left of the sidebar that says "Android" to "Project" to see all your files. Also I think it helps if the folder your pom.xml file is in a folder called "app/".
Disclaimer: My java project was generated by Google App Engine.
Spent a day on finding the easiest way to do this. The purpose was to find the fastest way to achieve this goal. I couldn't make it as fast as running javac command from terminal or compiling from netbeans or sublime text 3. But still got a good speed with android studio.
This looks ruff and tuff way but since we don't initiate projects on daily bases that is why I am okay to do this.
I downloaded IntelliJ IDEA community version and created a simply java project. I added a main class and tested a run. Then simply closed IntelliJ IDEA and opened Android Studio and opened the same project there. Then I had to simply attach JDK where IDE helped me by showing a list of available JDKs and I selected 1.8 and then it compiled well. I can now open any main file and press Control+Shift+R to run that main file.
Then I copied all my Java files into src folder by Mac OS Finder. And I am able to compile anything I want to.
There is nothing related to Gradle or Android and compile speed is pretty good.
Thanks buddies
To run a java file in Android ensure your class has the main method. In Android Studio 3.5 just right click inside the file and select "Run 'Filename.main()'" or click on "Run" on the menu and select "Run Filename" from the resulting drop-down menu.
on Android Studio 4.0 and above, you will get an option readily on the IDE,a green run icon to run the related main() class.
I'm working in TFS with my team for project and the problem occurs when I'm trying to make new modeling project for my classes, it doesn't show up in pending changes.
So here is how I go:
First I enter my folder where I keep my classes. I've tried from there many combinations: I've tried first right-clicking on my folder and putting "check-out for edit" and then continued to * (see later); next I've tried clicking on .csproj of my classes so I activate my project when I'll be adding modeling project and then moved to *; last I tried to activate whole solution of our whole projects which is connecting them and then to moved to *.
None of it worked. (I was always having last version)
here is what I did next for all the possibilities:
I went to Architecture -> New diagram (named diagram and left create new project) -> Create (then windows shows up for creating new project in which folder and I always select my folder where I keep my classes).
After when that was done, I went to check to "pending changes" in Team Explorer, because there should be some available since I created already Modeling project. But there was none. Since I couldn't do it like that, the last solution how I made it was by right-clicking to Source-control Explorer on my project and going to Add items to folder and selected my project which was created locally where I wanted it to be created.
But, this last solution was giving me errors while trying to open my modeling project after. I know I should activate first modeling project, so I clicked to .modelproj and while clicking to it, it was giving me this "notice" or rather "warning":
The solution you have opened is under source control but not currently configured for integrated source control in Visual Studio. Would you like to bind this solution to source control now?
--
What am I doing wrong? Why solutions are not integrated by default while creating my project (my friends are doing it automatically, they don't need to right-click in Source Control Explorer to add item to be able to see pending changes)?
I hope I made myself understandable.
It looks like your solution binding is broken. Either click yes on the question to bind your solution to source control, this is information that must be stored in the solution file and while Visual Studio does see that the folder is mapped to source control, it also sees that your solution isn't (did you check the add solution to source control checkbox when you created it?)
Optionally try opening file -> Source Control -> (optionally) Advanced -> Manage Source Control. You can select project in your solution individually and then click the bind button on the toolbar to bind them to sourcecontrol manually.
I had a similar issue and, in my case, the solution was to right click on my project and choose Source Control->Go online. Apparently I must have somehow been switched to the offline mode.
I have successfully checked in files from source control explorer instead of solution explorer in this case. Then after that it has worked again
VIEW > Other Windows > Source Control Explorer
Other way to do it:
File--> Source Control --> Advance --> Change Source Control.
In the window displayed select all the projects you want to bind to the TFS
I had the same issue and solve it by clicking:
File -> Source Control -> Advanced -> Refresh Status
In VS2013+, you can check if your solution is online. In my case, due to VSO service outage, my solutions went offline. I had to open the solution, File > Source Control > Go Online.
