People stream themselves coding frequently. Quality varies of course, but check it out for yourself. http://www.reddit.com/r/WatchPeopleCode/

Ok. Then I missed the post you're talking about. My apologies. Nothing to see here....

The trailer was for Ender's Game. Considering the demographic of Reddit and the significance of that book to many in that demographic (including me), it is no surprise that the pos…

You, sir, are awesome. Thank you.

When I was growing up, asking for a Coke would result in the counter-question "What kind?" Coke was just the general name for any dark carbonated beverage that wasn't root beer. Al…

With the addition of the git-flow plugin, git has taken over for my personal projects. The branching model works for me and the plugin makes using that branching model extremely ea…

I would agree. I've been a lurker on HN for a couple years and the recent PG post about creating wealth was new to me. It was a wonderful post, old as it may be, and much more usef…

How will you handle varying security levels? I don't want to put my principle username and password into an app that I distribute that can literally do anything to my databases. Ca…

I'm using Irony as the parser. But I still have to translate the grammar into C# code. I was unable to find an existing Java parser in C#. Do you know of one?

I used Character.isJavaIdentifierStart(int) and Character.isJavaIdentifierPart(int) to write a file with the ranges that I cut and pasted into my C# code. And thank goodness, too! …

I have never heard of "Java TCKs" but after a little research, I understand them better. Just out of curiosity, what would passing the Java TCKs do for me or my users?

Actually, it is possible it does. I only ran the test from 0x0000 to 0xFFFF. Maybe I should revisit.

Bear in mind that this parser's job is only for syntax highlighting and, later on, refactoring. Hmmm... maybe highlighting literals would be useful. I'll have to think on that.

Thank you for the correction. I guess I was typing too fast. :-)

The NDK is really only good for writing back end stuff. You can't do any UI with it.

Thank you for putting an actual price in your comment! Expensive is relative and knowing someone else's point of view is very helpful.

You're absolutely right. Getting VS to edit Java files and build the apks wasn't too difficult. What will make it awesome is getting intellisense working. I will have to write a la…

There's a tip that should be more public! I will try that.

I have looked at it, but I haven't given it the amount of time that I have given Eclipse. I just ran into too many bugs that revolved around its interaction with the emulator.

Oh yes! Those are the two biggest reasons that I love VS.

My principal goal for submitting this is to get your opinion on the project. It will be a lot of work. Much more work than just adjusting to Eclipse. So, am I crazy? Is there a mar…
