Installation

Please install AndroidIDE from trusted sources only i.e.

• F-Droid

• Follow the instructions here to install the build tools.

Limitations

• For working with projects in AndroidIDE, your project must use Android Gradle Plugin v7.2.0 or newer. Projects with older AGP must be migrated to newer versions.
• SDK Manager is already included in Android SDK and is accessible in AndroidIDE via its Terminal. But, you cannot use it to install some tools (like NDK) because those tools are not built for Android.
• No official NDK support because we haven't built the NDK for Android.

The app is still being developed actively. It's in beta stage and may not be stable. if you have any issues using the app, please let us know.
