How to use Cursor to develop Android applications, similar to Android Studio?

alanrodgz commented 1 month ago

Setting Up the Environment:

  1. Install Cursor AI on your development machine.
  2. Set up an Android project structure similar to what you'd use in Android Studio.
  3. Install necessary Android SDKs and tools on your system.

As @alanrodgz suggests, the best solution here is to run them in parallel. \

Android Studio does a ton of work for you behind the scenes - compiling, building, running and monitoring your app. While in both VSCode and (hypothetically) Cursor, you can create a setup where you can compile and run Android apps without Android Studio, you'll have a lot more work configuring build scripts and dependencies.

I've done exactly this, running Android Studio and Cursor side by side and, after a few minutes, it's pretty seamless and works well!
