Besides the rediculous hardware requirements of Android Studio, far beyond any other Java based IDE, we have a NDK experience that feels like a 20% side project from Android team, because back in Android 2.0 days they were forced to actually allow developers to write C and C++ code, otherwise there would be no games.

Even Symbian C++ across Metrowerks and Caride, felt a much developer friendly experiece than NDK has ever been.



I do Android development and recently upgraded my desktop as 32GB is no longer enough for Android development. I put 96GB in the new machine, and am still not fully confident that it's future proof.


Ouch, that bad? Thanks for the update.


To be fair, it will depend on the project. I do it professionally for multiple clients, so I get to see also the pathological end of the spectrum.
