IntelliJIDEA

Setting up the project

Please note that there are two important JARs in AndroidAnnotations:

• androidannotations-X.X.X-api.jar is the API JAR, it must be in your build path and will be part of the final APK
• androidannotations-X.X.X.jar is the processor JAR, it is only needed at compile time, and must be in the compiler classpath.

Adding the jars to the projects

• Put androidannotations-X.X.X-api.jar in the libs folder
• Put androidannotations-X.X.X.jar in a different folder, such as compile-libs. androidannotations-X.X.X.jar must not go in the libs folder.

Importing the project into IntelliJ

• Go to File -> Open...
• In the dialog window, select your project folder and click OK
• If the Framework detected popup shows up, click on the Configure link on it, then select the desired Android SDK and click OK
• Open File -> Project structure -> Modules -> Dependencies and add the dependencies from the libs folder
  • Click on the green + button
  • Select JARs or directories...
  • Select the libs folder -> OK
  • Toggle the first checkmark so the jar is exported
• Open File -> Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Compiler -> Annotation processing and add the AndrodidAnnotations processor
  • Select your project in the left pane
  • Toggle Enable annotation processing
  • Select Processor path
  • Click ... right to Processor path and browse androidannotations-X.X.X.jar from the compile-libs folder
  • Switch the Store generated sources relative to to Module content root
  • Close the window by clicking OK
• Make the project, this will also launch annotation processing
• Open File -> Project structure -> Modules -> Sources, then right click the generated folder and select Source
