port the project to android studio? #257

Closed yeahman45 closed 4 years ago

yeahman45 commented 4 years ago

is there a chance porting this project to android studio? It is currently a pain to build and compile.

thornbill commented 4 years ago

Not in its current state. That will require a complete rewrite as the current app is built on the Cordova framework and its tooling and plugins.

yeahman45 commented 4 years ago

ok thx for the reply. I won't contribute to the project then as it is too too much hassle.

thornbill commented 4 years ago

For what it’s worth we all agree that Cordova is a pain but it’s what we have for now. 😄 Until someone takes on the effort of moving to something else we are stuck with it.

yeahman45 commented 4 years ago

Lol ok but I don't get the reasoning using cordova in the first place when there is android studio and all google efforts to make development on android easier.

@yeahman45 This is based off the code that we had available when we forked from Emby, so that we wouldn't have to write an entire app from scratch 👍

Ok makes sense
