Google And Android Eclipse News: Sundown Eclipse Development Will No Longer Be Available From Google To Android
Staff ReporterTwo years ago, Google designed Android Studio version 1.0 so that it can be the official development tool for Android. The internet giant company believes that enough time has passed for developers to switch over.
If you're a developer and you have not imported your files to Google Android Studio, you must act now. According to Google, its eclipse tool kit will no longer be compatible by the end of 2015. Jamal Eason, Android product manager, said in an interview with Slash Gear:
"[Google] would be ending development and official support for the Android Developer Tools (ADT) in Eclipse at the end of the year."
According to Eason, Google should gain a significant amount of progress in integrating existing tools into the new system. Eason said:
"Over the next few months. We [Google] are migrating the rest of the standalone performance tools (e.g. DDMS, Trace Viewer) and building in additional support for the Android NDK into Android Studio."
Android Studio will become the primary app for developers and they should invest the majority of their efforts and resources in studying what Android Studio can offer.
Google users who would still like to access the eclipse have the Andmore project to turn to. Infoq.com points out that users can still find JDT, CDT, and ADT in Andmore. Additionally, Andmore includes Maven and Ant, Gradle support systems. The project also operates in cooperation with Mylyn, EGit and GitHub.
