[andmore-dev] How out of date is Andmore

Hey gang,

I have to apologize, but a year or so later I'm finally getting around to trying out Andmore looking for things to fix up. It turns out to be pretty easy to find things that are broken.

So my first question comes as I try to create a new project targeting my Priv which is 5.1.1 which is API 22. The layout editor complains "This version of the rendering library is more recent than your version of ADT plug-in. Please update ADT plug-in." And I see bug 462620 stating that we don't actually support that level and 23.

Have we updated Andmore with the latest patches to ADT? ADT is clearly evolving at least a little to keep up with API releases. What is our plan to keep up with it? Is it as simple as seeing what they've done and applying the same code fixes albeit with the new package names?

To take that thought even further, did we really hurt ourselves by changing the package names, and thus file paths, in the code making it almost near impossible to keep up? I fully expect Google to keep ADT at least up to date with API releases which means we will need to update Andmore as well.

I love the fact I can easily clean up things in Andmore that violate Eclipse IDE UX especially when combined with other plug-ins for Web and IoT development. But it's really unusable if we can't keep it up to date easily with API releases.

Thoughts on how we can fix this? Do we need to redo the fork and keep it as a fork and not update so much?

Thanks!
Doug.
