Is this project dead?

[Mehmet Birgi]

Is AIDE still being developed? Their blog and twitter accounts seem to be inactive.

I think that "yes, it's dead'. There are features that work well but the industry goes fast and AIDE does almost nothing

[Mehmet Birgi]

That's also my impression. Any alternatives for developing Android apps on a Chromebook?

Aide is not dead. You can consult Google Playstore to see when and what were the latest updates.
You will not be able to find any comparable alternative to Aide on Chromebook, that's for sure.

Support is mostly provided in its Google+ community.

Mostly support updates. Just to not loose the existing users.

Agree.

The support is really poor in my opinion. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-ide/JqlzvJP4p8E - look at the last question. Do you see many answers? And the question is written well.

Sure someone is doing something. But in the last years it's almost just a bit of support (not counting the debugger for the extra payment).

The question was probably written well, but it was wrongly addressed.

First, it was not written in Google+, which is by far more active, supported by experienced users.

Second, if you go to that libgdx site, you will see that they provide instructions on installing libraries in Eclipse, IntelliJ, Android Studio, MacOS X, but no instructions for Aide.

Aide would have to answer that question if it were part of gdx and were responsible for gdx development.

Suppose any other company, Microsoft or whoever, writes a library and provides no instruction on installing it in MacOS X, Android Studio or IntelliJ - would it mean that MacOS X, Android Studio or IntelliJ are dead projects?

In any case, Gdx provides instructions and they have very specific installation project through compiling and running a intallation jar file with *desktop interface*. Android does not run desktop interfaces, not Aide's fault. (And, excuse me, but according to that logic - the whole Android must be a dead project, then, because they don't match up gdx's OS-dependent installation requirements :) ).

What I'd do in this case, I would try and prepare the whole project with libraries installed according to their instruction in Linux Android Studio or wherever that they provide instructions for, and then copy the project to Aide on Android, and correct any broken declarations, like imports, resources, packages and stuff.

But, again, it is more about the library's support and instruction, rather than any development environment, or one could ask Gdx to provide installation info for Aide - and not the reverse.

I wouldn't be so sure about that.
