I have an android project checked out from git into an ubuntu server. I will be doing git check-in and check-out files inside this ubunut machine.
I have installed Android studio in my local system .i.e. windows machine.
Is it possible to use FTP in Android Studio to directly import the project from ubuntu server and edit them without copying to my local windows system. I did search around the internet and couldn't find any posts regarding how to do this.
I'm aware that we can install Android studio in Ubuntu itself, but I'm not allowed to do that.
It would be very helpful if anyone throws some light on this.
FTP is not enough, you need something like NFS that allows a user on a client computer to access files over a computer network much like local storage is accessed.
It looks like this functionality is only available on IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate Edition, which Android Studio is based on. It looks like the server only stores the files and IDEA on the client does the heavy lifting. For Android, there's also the question of running emulators, which I assume is also done on the client.
Not sure what the delta is between AS and IDEA, but you can develop Android apps on it.

I'm currently using android studio to develop an app, but my pc seems pretty bad for it so I'm very afraid that it stops working and i can't access my codes anymore. Is there any way I can transfer the files to another computer? I have the app folder with all the codes, even tried using whatsapp, email and google drive to send the documents but it won't let me. If I buy another computer can I use an external hard drive to transfer my apps to the new computer? Idk if it matters, but i'll be switching from a MacOS to a Windows.
Sure. Just copy the folder where your project is in to an external hard drive, copy it in the other PC, install the same version of Android version you are using in the other PC and open that copied folder as a project with Android Studio.
There should be no problem.
Maybe you have also to reconfigure things like Firebase access or the like, but with repeating the process you did it should be enough.
I am trying to get Windows Azure Mobile Services up and running but can not for the life of me find the DLL anywhere on my PC. I installed the SDK already.
I thought I read somewhere that this DLL is only available for use in Windows 8 development environments. Is this true? I am running Windows 7. If so is there another way around accessing my database in the cloud?
You need to use the version of the DLL that Xamarin ported from the original code. Download it from their component store: http://components.xamarin.com/view/azure-mobile-services/
well that depend on the way you start developing your application. if you developed the script on Windows Azure Mobile Cloud Service and then download the project from the portal, I am sure you wont face any problems of the above.
I'm making a script to sync some files from my pc to my android.
How can I list all androids directories connected (via usb) to my computer?
I tried to use this http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/488836b0-84e9-4c0c-b2cf-dd19f6e70f74 but I'm having too much trouble with all this windows dependencies. Tried to use the windll.kernel32 from ctypes too, but found it just too confusing to use (the lack of examples doesn't help).
There's any way to do this without installing an Android SDK?
If you mean detecting which removable media is Android storage, you could scan all removable drives for the Android/ or .android_secure/ folders, which would suggest the device is Android. Documentation here may be useful.
My main developing phase is done on a Ubuntu machine.
The project is shared on the cloud by Dropbox.
I'd like to access to the project on other PC but, since it is a Windows PC, i receive some errors, first of all, the project path!!
Is there a way, or some guideline, to allow to develop the same project on Linux and Windows?
Instead of Dropbox, use a public version controls service (github, assembla) (or private + vpn etc.) and checkout the project on as many workstations as you want. Make you sure you don't check in IDE Specific files like Eclipse's '.classpath' etc.
I have a slow & erroneous Internet connection which disconnects now & then.
So I like to know, if there is a way to download the android source directly rather than
repo sync
Or If I download the source in another machine, how can I configure/setup in my machine?
repo sync is the officially supported method of getting Android sources. You can do repo sync on another machine and move the source to your development machine, there should be no special setup necessary for doing so, just copy the files downloaded by repo to your development machine (take care to copy all the hidden/dot files as well).
One option is to use the technique that Lie Ryan mentioned to get it to one machine F via a reliable Internet connection first. After that, you could consider using a tool such as rsync on the machine S with the slower/unreliable connection to keep the entire project tree between F & S in sync (I believe rsync supports resumption automagically, though I have never tested this).
Hope this helps.
