on GitHub

This release brings various improvements and bug fixes to AndroidIDE.

Important notes

The UI designer has been TEMPORARILY removed as we are working on integrating it with the new projects API for better and improved layout inflation/preview.

Additions

• The IDE now creates .nomedia file in the PROJECTS directory if the file does not already exist. Thanks to @jayx003 (#489).
• Added XML formatter.
• You can now long click on completion items to open documentation. Works only for Android framework classes, methods and fields.
• Added option to choose custom font for editor and terminal. Thanks to @deepkrg17 (#548).
• Readded Clear Gradle cache preference. Thanks to @deepkrg17 (#587).
