Has anyone gotten "Code With Me" (the pair programming plugin from jetbrains) working with Android Studio?

[gildor]

I think it's not supported yet, even alpha of AS based on Idea version which is not supported

[gildor]

So probably we have to wait 4.2+ version

[Colton Idle]

Gotcha. Thanks @gildor

[caelum19]

Any update on this? Would love to write Kotlin through my slower laptop in AS as well

Last update yesterday apparently

https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/2020.3/faq-about-code-with-me.html#cwm_requirements

The Code With Me plugin is compatible with IntelliJ IDEA 2020.2.1 and later.

So i suppose it is not working for AS 4.1

[caelum19]

AS Canary 3 is apparently equivalent to IntelliJ 2020.3.1 (202.7319...) it may be feasible to work. I've tried installing the plugin from file, but the only plugins formally compatible with build numbers less than 203 are relatively old, and when I try them I get 404 errors downloading clients when they attempt to join (either with the URL or through the 'Join' prompt). I guess the backend just doesn't work with those older versions. I have a theory that the newer plugin versions should still work fine, but they're blocked from loading because they don't include < 203 builds as compatible. Anyone know of a way around IntelliJ's plugin version blocking?

Of course, I'm fully prepared for everything to explode in my face and I don't expect any guarantees 😄

@caelum19 for your use case Projector probably would fit better than code with me: https://www.github.com/JetBrains/projector-server/tree/master/docs%2FProjector.md

[caelum19]

That looks great, thanks! Merry Christmas!

[caelum19]

With https://webcatalog.app and projector-installer it works flawlessly, even Preview is nice and fast 😍

[Colton Idle]

@caelum19 wait what? How does webcatalog.app work with projector?

[caelum19]

It's just a browser wrapper to make application shortcuts from websites, it's better than a bookmark because it blocks most browser shortcuts and makes a separate OS-level tab for each "application"

[caelum19]

Like ice ssb

[Colton Idle]

Maybe I'm missing something. But is projector available?

[Colton Idle]

Oh. Looks like I missed projector-installer that might be what I want to use. I have a specific use case of having an imac upstairs and my macbook air downstairs. Maybe projector-installer will do the trick. When I tried like 2 weeks ago I had trouble getting projector to work.

[caelum19]

Yeah projector installer makes it very easy 😁

[Colton Idle]

Will try it out. Thanks @caelum19

Are you using it locally? Or are you having projector run on the cloud?

[caelum19]

webcatalog is just handy on the client. Same as you, I just like to move around with a laptop but the battery doesn't last long with android studio running on it

[caelum19]

It's running on my desktop

[Colton Idle]

Awesome. Yeah, same use case as me. I will try this tomorrow. Thanks again and happy holidays

[caelum19]

You too! 😁 I'm using huawei's "Multi screen collaboration" with the phone connected to the desktop too

[Colton Idle]

@caelum19 last question for today. Are you using macOS?

[caelum19]

My host is Manjaro Linux and the client is windows

[caelum19]

there's https://github.com/JetBrains/projector-docker if it doesn't work on Mac

[caelum19]

though one thing I appreciate about the projector installer approach is that it's using the very same install that I'm used to on the desktop along with all of my plugins and settings
