Welcome to the Lemmygrad programming community! This is a space where programmers of all levels can discuss programming, ask for help with problems, and share their personal programming projects with others.

Rules

  1. Respect all users, regardless of their level of knowledge in programming. We're here to learn and help each other improve.
  2. Keep posts relevant to programming and related topics.
  3. Respect people's personal preferences. If you disagree with someone's choice of programming language, method of formatting code, or anything else, don't attack the poster. Genuine criticism is fine, but personal attacks are not.
  4. In order to promote breaks from typing, all code snippets must be photos of code written on paper.
    Just kidding :), please use proper markdown code blocks.

Anyone done any Android development using Vim/Neovim? (lemmygrad.ml)

Looking for tips, tricks, and experiences of comrades who've developed Android apps using Vim, Neovim, or other text editors rather than Android Studio.

It's been a while since I did any Android development but I want to develop an app for personal use. Between then and now I've been using Neovim for everything so I'm loathe to go back to Android Studio but it handles a lot of boiler plate for new projects.

Has anyone got any thoughts or tools to share? I'm very comfortable in the CLI so my dream setup would be using Neovim as a code editor and running build commands etc in a terminal nearby.

For personal use, Github can automatically build and test your project using Github Actions. You get 2000 minutes / month free.

Cheers for the reply comrade.

Since this is just a personal project I'll be installing the app just on my phone via USB and adb, and don't need a proper CI/CD build system. I just need to compile on my machine and stick the apk file onto my phone.
