Can anyone describe a good Vim setup for Android Development? I’m using Eclipse for now but I would really like to use Vim because it’s faster and I like it better. I’m not interested in Eclim for example.
I’m interested in what Vim plugins are used (for Java, autocomplete etc.), how the .vimrc looks like and how the whole process of building/running applications works (as efficiently as possible).
I’ve once had to do some Android development on a netbook, and set up a nice Vim setup for this purpose. Seriously, it’s easier than it seems:
Run emulator from the command line. It’s better to do it anyway. I started mine with something like this:
emulator -avd BlaDevice -no-boot-anim -scale 0.65 -show-kernelTo build and reinstall your modified app to the emulator, simply run
ant reinstallfrom the project root. Map this command in Vim to your key combination of choice.I’ve used typical Vim setup: NERDTree, FuzzyFinder, and omnicomplete. Java syntax highlighting works out of the box.
Never bothered to install Eclim, omnicomplete works just fine in most cases.
