Win10 works for me. However, I prefer separate Android Studio now.
I know Eclipse for Android wasn't great for numerous reasons : why were projects so hard to open from another machine?
Android Studio is very nice and I like dev in Google APIs for the most part.
However, I also understand it would be VERY NICE if you could write once and build both iOS and Android.
The dream is still a dream I fear. Even with xamarin.

 Android Studio has a bootloader?

It runs from my flash drive when I plug it into the 3.5" floppy drive. 
I did seem to mix up my reply with all the other stuff didn't I? Well, at least someone is noticing me.

I've got Android Studio as well and have used it a little. I'm trying both to see which one works best. Points for AS since it doesn't puke on breakpoints/debug!

Gradle (AS) has annoyed me some but not near as much as all of the odd problems I experienced with Eclipse.
Eclipse was absolutely annoying when I tried to take a project from one computer to another. So often I would try that and Eclipse on the other machine would never open the project. I don't get that. I thought that was basic functionality for an IDE (being able to open the project from anywhere). oh well.

Maybe this will help: Android Studio 2.0[^]

Interesting. I can set breakpoints and step in/out of code without any problems. What I'm not able to do is "Set Next Statement" - that options appears to be disabled. Other than that, no problems at all.

I just got this email:
"I'm reaching out as I just had an immediate requirement come in for a rapidly growing company here in Austin ...[pointless crap about how fast their growing, blah-f*ckin-blah...
They are looking to add a QA Engineer with coding skills (ideally Java or Python, or both)...[more pointless job description drivel]...
This would be perfect for someone who has some Q/A experience but wants a route into development, or someone looking for their first Java/Python coding role, and they will provide you the support to get there if you are willing to start in QA."
Here's what sent me over the edge...
"I appreciate this may not be appropriate for you..."
Well then, Mr. "senior recruiter", why the F*CK are you bothering me?!!! I sent this as a reply:
I gotta say this is so far outside my skill set that I'm assuming this is a f*ckin' joke of some kind. Did you even so much as skim over my resume?
And "start out in QA" so I could eventually "move up" to a junior developer position? I've been a programmer for over 35 f*ckin years, and currently command six-figure salaries. Do you think your customer would be willing to pay me that much money just for doing Q/A? This email is a f*ckin insult, and if I were standing in front of you right now, I'd punch you in the mouth for even suggesting this position.
What a f*ckin dick...

Some places require a "team player" mentality and "works well with others" for their development team, especially those with open workspace. I would suggest working on those attirubte to attract a better proposition.

Do you try to "curry favor" with this kind of sayings? Then get suprise with the QA offering?

I find your first post, starting this thread, to be best described as "LIBERATING"
As for this, to which I'm currently replying, that you're not as angry as you could be or you'd have prefaced your remark something like "I suggest you breath out and . . ."
Now I'll go to the top for the '+' part.

Much like horse, but a bit tougher.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Serious answer: It's delicious, somewhere between horse and really good beef, dark red meat a bit sweetish in the taste.
Perfect on the bbq.
Sensitive to age though, you don't want an old mule, it might be tough as leather.

Happy for you to malign the good character of a poor recruiter not here to defend himself, but no need to insult the entire culture. There's a line, and the trick to a good insult is riding that line carefully.

I totally agree with you.
I just accepted a new position yesterday, and the job search has been a lot of the same form email crap.

Mate of mine had two different recruiters phone up about a job the thought he might be interested in a couple of weeks ago.
The job he had recently resigned from.

I had the same thing. I had joked to my ow boss at the exit interview that I might come back as an expensive consultant. His reply was, "We don't employ contractors in this department!" First recruiter that called was all excited and said, "We have an almost perfect match for your skills and experience and it is just around the corner from where you live so the commute will be minimal! They are paying well and will need you to start straight away, this is an urgent requirement!" It was to replace me at my old job at my old firm! 
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.
