I am starting to learn Kotlin and I want to develop a visual Kotlin application for Android, and I am using IntelliJ Idea. I haven't really found any tutorials on how to use IntelliJ to develop visual Kotlin applications, I have found many on how to develop them with Android Studio, but I started with IntelliJ and would rather stick with it than learning a new one. Is there a way to develop visual Kotlin applications in IntelliJ Idea or do I have to switch to Android Studio?
You won't lose anything switching to Android Studio, because it's built on a same platform core as intellij idea.
But there should probably be a way, probably you have to set everything up in:
Settings -> Appearance & Behavior -> Android SDK
Then in top menu bar
Tools -> Android you will have an AVD and SDK managers.

While creating Android environment in eclipse, I receive this error:
Folder can't be moved because it's open in another folder
, and when updating, it all fails as Eclipse doesn't find the SDK location, because emaluator.exe file is no longer existing as part of the tools of the SDK. I have preinstalled system-image, etc. Any ideas on how to fix this issue without re-installation?
As a beginner and as now Google has their own IDE for developing Android App, you better should start your development journey with Android Studio. It is powerful, beautiful and very easy to use. Why you are using Eclipse still now? If you use Eclipse, you have to install Android SDK, Android Emulator. And you are getting all the tools in one place with Android Studio.
Moreover, Android Studio has IntelliJ engine inside. It is known as the best java ide. Super auto code completion, intelligent code inspector and so on.
Android Studio has become the way to go for Android developers now-a-days. It is easier to use because is based on the IntelliJ Idea which is per se a much better java programming environment than eclipse, it predicts way better what you may need to write, and google has made it so that you have all your interface, simulator and code all in the same environment. On top of that google won't update the Android SDK to work with Eclipse anymore!
I am developing with Android Studio so far. Now I realized that I am able to get a Intellij Ultimate license. I tried to figure out how to activate the 'ultimate' plugins in my Android Studio. But since Android Studio is based on the community edition this is not possible. Or is there any clue do to this?
The other way around: I use IntelliJ Ultimate and activate the plugin 'Android Support'. But then disadvantages appears like missing android studio specific buttons (sdk,avd,...) Is there any way to activate the Android Studio UI?
Android Studio is a separate IDE. It's based on the Intellij platform but its a bit different.
There are plugins like JRebel for Android that are not working (yet) in Idea Ultimate/Community and vice versa.
If you want to use Ultimate only features like database plugin or grails support or something else, you have to accept that not all Android Studio features are available.
You have to decide which feature set is more worth to you.
As an eclipse user, I am very new to Intellij and also to Android Studio and now I will start developing an app that will be comunicating with a JAX-RS Webservice.
So I wanna know your opinion, shoud I start the development using Android Studio or just stick with the regular Intellij IDEA Ultimate? What are the benefits of each case? What will I be missing?
IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate has some additional code insight support for JAX-RS which is not available in Android Studio, and it does include the Android development features from Android Studio. So if you already have an IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate license, I would recommend to just keep using it.
I am an eclipse user and android developer.
I am trying to develop android applications using scala. I managed to do an hello world once in eclipse and now I am trying to do it with Intellij IDEA, so I can choose the best option. I managed to run simple scala examples in Intellij and I am trying now to create an android application there.
The problem is: Eclipse seems a lot more EASY to build an android application with scala than Intellij. For what I have seen you need to use SBT and install a lot of "extras" to get things done.
I have seen some questions here about IDEs for Scala. But didn't find a recent question about the combo Scala + Android.
So, my question is... Should I give Intellij a try or eclipse is just fine? Is it possible to run the application on my smartphone easly with Intellij?
I haven't tried Eclipse with Android IDE so I cannot compare. I use IntelliJ 10.5 for Android development with Scala. And it just works perfectly.
All you need is to download Scala plugin with IntelliJ's build-in plugin manager. Android support is installed by default in Idea 10.5.
I can highly recommend Idea 10.5 for Android development with Scala.
I have tried Intellij Idea but it wasn't as simple as Eclipse. You should prefer eclipse rather than using this Intellij.
