[query]: why does AndroidIDE need so much storage? about androidide HOT 6 OPEN

Termux: functions as a terminal emulator, enabling users to access a Linux-like environment on Android. It primarily serves as a command-line interface, allowing execution of commands and installation of packages, resembling a traditional Linux terminal.

On the other hand, an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) like AndroidIDE is a comprehensive software suite designed for app development. It encompasses various tools, such as code editors, compilers, debuggers, and build automation systems. AndroidIDE provides an interface that streamlines the development process, offering features like code completion, project management, and testing capabilities, making it more user-friendly for creating Android applications.

That's why Termux doesn't take up as much space as AndroidIDE does

from androidide.

Leaving out the editor part, other parts were installed in termux(plus many others stuff which I use).

Currently, androidide is taking almost 10gb where termux is taking around 6gb.

There is a difference of 3-4 gb. Which is quite something.

A overview of what is taking which amount space- repot would be nice to know.

This includes project files, JDK, SDK, possibly NDK, command-line tools, build tools, multiple versions of NDK and SDK. Additionally, Gradle, although not specifically designed for mobile, was implemented by AndroidIDE for Android usage. It's important to note that AndroidIDE is still undergoing development and is likely to be further optimized in the future.

Gradle can consume a considerable amount of space, especially due to caching dependencies and storing build-related files. The space usage can notably increase depending on the number of managed projects and the size of dependencies utilized within those projects.

Like other IDEs, for example, AIDE, Sketchware, and others, which utilize a normal code building process, which is slower and doesn't occupy as much storage as Gradle.

I know very well because I had it, I deleted it because it got corrupted, now I'm asking you to download it

I would like to thank all the supporters and sponsors for the new year. May it be a year full of light and happiness

Just use this command in Terminal: idesetup -c
