Too disconnected from server side #19

Closed mdkhanga closed 9 years ago

mdkhanga commented 10 years ago

I have used the rest2mobile plugin to generate client code for android and I must say it works well. Kudos to the team.

I am a full stack developer in that I develop both android app and any server side code - Servlets, Guice, Spring and other types of server side components.

My concern is that I have to use 2 separate environment - r2m for client side and something else for serverside.

Even in the old J2EE days - which is 15 year old, we had integrated IDEs that let you do client side and server side coding in the same IDE.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks for you comments. We have received similar feedback asking us to support mobile back-end development as well. We are investigating it, but for the moment, rest2mobile tool suite is focused on simplifying mobile-side development and supporting the same experience for Android, iOS and Javascript. The fact that it is server-agnostic makes it easier to adopt.

If you are a full stack engineer wanting to use Android Studio for both front and back-end development, you could give Google App Engine a try.
