Android dev on X Elite | Hardware and software setup

[@metalmlover]

Thanks a million man. I got a new surface and almost lost hope then I found your awesome video

[@alderonmatt]

Python has a ARM64 installer BTW, you need to select a different option for it but it has one, the default is X64

[@obinnaokafor6252]

But he chose to make it more complicated for his viewers. A lot of widely used programming tools and software development tools have ARM64 support - .NET/ C#, Java, Go, Kotlin, Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, Jetbrain tools, Rust tools etc

[@vandeljasonstrypper6734]

But their framework for building for mobile are absolute JOKE. Python for web, ai and ml these days

[@rombach1995]

This is literally the only use case i was worried about with these ARM windows machines. I work as a mobile developer among other things and I am from Argentina, so buying a laptop is a month salary at least. You saved me! If you can share your experience developing android apps now that you know it's possible would be great.

[@vtxshadow]

You should look into the newest gen of intel laptops that are going to come out soon. They use traditional x64 architecture and claim to have a very good battery life, even better than the current m3. Hopefully intel hasn’t lied we know they have jn the last.

[@devathinnithin1371]

@@vtxshadow they draw less power but still we don't know how they perform in real life as most of the reviewers runsome tests for scores, I think it cannot handle android development as good macbook(without charger). I am using a intel 12th gen 1240p I want to learn android but IntelliJ sucks with basic java program we cannot trust until some good test results(I am windows fan boy)

[@MrIng03201]

I don't recommend it. Backend work is possible, but there is a difficulty in developing the design. Preview rendering is intermittently possible in the x64 android studio. and too bad performance in x64 emulating

[@Mahesha999]

Given that I have wasted many hours / days setting up different environments for different tasks only to realise it will / will NOT work, someone doing it for you and sharing is a great care ! Love you maan !!! Good developers form really good community. They just cut the crap and come to the point. They just dont have enough time from debugging their code. They just know habitually how valuable it is to stay minimal, whether its about writing a code or making a video ... (And of course no fake reviews. They just know they will be caught by others in the community...

[@AgentZeroNine1]

We need those new Lunar Lake laptops ASAP.

Please post a comparison of Android studio build performance. Would love to see the comparison between the M series and X Elite.

[@MrKar18]

It's running in emulation. Won't be good for comparison just yet. Google has to release for ARM. Google Drive is due this year. Hopefully others.

[@MrIng03201]

in intelliJ, elite x better than m2 macbook air , but it has some problems when you develop frontend. the rendering problem is not fixed yet

[@aforijikufemi2237]

I have no Idea what you are doing but I enjoy watching your videos.

[@markmoyer]

Lol I literally was dreaming about this last night and now your video pops up. Wild

[@AZisk]

ok, what's my next video?

[@EstherDiffo]

@AZisk how to setup these machines for school

[@nikospsarakis5681]

If you don’t care about the emulator you can just install intelij (which has arm version) and plugins and code there.

[@MrIng03201]

but Design rendering such as preview compose and xml is not possible.

Google Project IDX has android studio in beta and it's in the beta!

[@RealBrokoli]

I have never been this early, I don't know what to comment

[@AZisk]

This will work. Cheers!

[@JenuelDevTutors]

wow that keyboard looks cool

This should be a no-brainer. I don't understand why you can't have a process running the Android system on these machines. No virtualization, just a container. After all, the processor is very similar to the CPU of most Android phones.

[@le_bouvier]

So given the hoops involved it seems to me that we are further establishing that for developers to cover all platforms all you need is an M-Seeries MacBook + any x86 device that can be used to compile x86 code. It seems like no one is doing Qualcomm any favors. Window ARM is still mostly junk and 2 Month's in Google still isn't supporting them properly. I really hope this changes, because we need better competition.

[@TamasKiss-yk4st]

Until the Windows ARM market share is low, developers won't work for it.. just remember all the works they did for Windows Phone (that one also died because of low app support.. the first social network apps required 3 years to build.. but that time the platform was deserted, everyone keaved and bought a phone where he can download apps from the store..)

[@geraldwilczek999]

Alex, when review of the new lunar lake chip laptop? Especially from dev point of view.

[@adrianorocha-dev]

There’s a new alternative to nvm called fnm(fast node manager) and it has a native windows version

[@MadafakinRio]

I wouldn't touch JavaScript with a 10-foot pole, especially for anything other than websites. Even if you want cross-platform apps I think there are native solutions.

[@EivindGussiasLkseth]

The irony is that a Snapdragon PC is not suited to emulate a Snapdragon mobile device 😂

Try flutter on x elite machine

[@srkrishnan1989]

How about kotlin compose and flutter

[@ndifrekeokpo4613]

Would like to see Kotlin development plus a full build using the android studio ide not like typescript which will probably be edited in vs code

[@AleGuerra05]

Great🎉thanks

[@DunckingTest]

Can you get some lunar lake intel cpus to test and review

[@AZisk]

yes

[@ranjitmandal1612]

Nice 👍

[@Unizuka]

is it this simple for flutter as well?

[@ap99149]

Also wanting to know this!

[@gafoor11]

What about battery backup on android development? Does it heat? what's the cpu temperature?

[@javascriptes]

Could have you just use Visual Studio with a USB?

What about Linux support update video

[@RomPereira]

Are you going on vacation again??????? jeeeeeez

[@meowlicious8897]

Do we have Linux support by now?

[@owndampu1731]

@@meowlicious8897 I ran arch linux arm on my qualcomm asus vivobook, there is still a lot missing though, no usb a, multi function usb c is kinda eh right now, audio is not all there. Also installing it requires some knowledge about setting up the bootloader with a devicetree. Cool and doable if you are familiar with embedded linux, if you are a basic user that requires a graphical installer that does everything for you, its not there yet. Though there is movement from certain distros, but there is just a lot more kernel work that needs to be done.

[@Unizuka]

​@@owndampu1731 how is software support getting on windowson arm, did you notice any improvement.

[@gorudonu]

qualcomm should hurry with linux support ;)

[@TamasKiss-yk4st]

Qualcomm won't do anything about Linux support, this chip made with Microsoft coop.. so they won't make any effort to break the coop rules (and they also don't want to be sued by Microsoft with a fat amount of money just because of that..)

​@@TamasKiss-yk4stThey're already optimising for Linux and they announced it officially lol. Stop spreading false info.

[@obvinpro]

That is not Android development, that react native Android development. Where's Kotlin and flutter?

[@Watchandlearn91]

Flutter doesn't work on Windows for ARM either although they have re-prioritized that I think because I see they are constantly completing work on it so maybe soon? Not sure about native Kotlin dev.

[@MrKar18]

@@Watchandlearn91 Just checked. Windows ARM native for kotlin doesn't exist in latest release. But anyways if you use WSL should be good.

[@gaminginstilllife9429]

i had to return my snapdragon laptop/ i really did love it but i woke up one morning and Vonage biz was not working.... i need that program so i am returning it and getting a real x86 laptop

[@andyH_England]

Sure, here's the revised text: Yes, it's a beta product and not suitable for people running their businesses. Hopefully, Snapdragon X2-Elite next year will be able to cover all bases. It's just not worth the hassle at the moment. It is great for light users who only need office apps and web browsing. With the new AMD out and Lunar Lake coming next week, there are certainly some great choices coming soon.

[@tobyzieglerrr]

Even with ARM, Windows is a trashcan for serious development. Android Studio seems like pure pain tbh... so glad i never had to use that pile.

[@OggVorbis69]

That is the end of dell laptops for me
