+# Android Studio |
+ |
+Android Studio integration works by generating .gradle files from our BUILD.gn files. |
+ |
+[TOC] |
+ |
+## Usage |
+ |
+```shell |
+build/android/gradle/generate_gradle.py --output-directory out-gn/Debug --target //chrome/android:chrome_public_apk |
+``` |
+ |
+This creates a project at `out-gn/Debug/gradle`. To create elsewhere: `--project-dir foo` |
+ |
+## Status (as of July 14, 2016) |
+ |
+### What currently works |
+ |
+ - Basic Java editing and compiling |
+ |
+### Roadmap / what's not yet implemented ([crbug](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=620034)) |
+ |
+ - Test targets (although they *somewhat* work via `--target=//chrome/android:chrome_public_test_apk__apk`) |
+ - Make gradle aware of resources and assets |
+ - Make gradle aware of native code via pointing it at the location of our .so |
+ - Add a mode in which gradle is responsible for generating `R.java` |
+ - Add support for native code editing |
+ |
+### What's odd about our integration |
+ |
+ - We disable generation of `R.java`, `BuildConfig.java`, `AndroidManifest.java` |
+ - Generated .java files (.srcjars) are extracted to the project directory upon project creation. They are not re-extracted unless you manually run `generate_gradle.py` again |
+ |
+## Android Studio Tips |
+ |
+ - Configuration instructions can be found [here](http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/configuration). Some suggestions: |
+ - Launch it with more RAM: `STUDIO_VM_OPTIONS=-Xmx2048m /opt/android-studio-stable/bin/studio-launcher.sh` |

It seems STUDIO_VM_OPTIONS has to be a file accord

Might be a better idea, but looking at studio.sh,
|
+ - Setup wizard advice: |
+ - Choose "Standard", it then fails (at least for me) from "SDK tools directory is missing". Oh well... |
+ - Choose "Import" and select your generated project directory |
+ - Choose "OK" to set up gradle wrapper |
+ - If you ever need to reset it: `rm -r ~/.AndroidStudio*/` |
