# multiplatform

When I setup a multiplatform module with an android component, I find the intelli-sense for JS breaks. (And I've run into some issues combining it with JVM things as well).

I kinda gave up on IDE autocomplete + MPP + AGP. Filed this some time ago. Maybe things will get better with HMPP but the last comment on this issue isn't very encouraging

[mbonnin]

When I need AGP, I put logic in the Gradle files to ignore it during sync like:

if (System.getProperty("idea.sync.active") == null) {
   // Apply AGP here so that the IDE doesn't see it

[Etienne]

right. I got that impression too. I'm trying to find ways to sidestep issues, because broken intellisense makes for a painful dev experience.

[Etienne]

oh that's one good trick to know..

[mbonnin]

It's not great but it kinda does the job

[Etienne]

right now I'm trying to see if I can somewhat mitigate the issue by splitting things up in modules and merging them back together.. not sure it'll work

[mbonnin]

I also have this issue bookmarked: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KTIJ-14471

[mbonnin]

AFAIK, splitting things in modules doesn't help much... Maybe with included builds that could work...

[Etienne]

well.. I found that if AGP is not included in the multiplatform module, intellisense starts working, at least for a JS subcomponent..

[Etienne]

now I'm checking if 'actual' classes can be implemented in separate modules.. not sure that's possible

[mbonnin]

I think it's coming but not possible yet

[mbonnin]

It was mentioned during one of the Kotlin event videos last week

[Etienne]

right.. well, if I can at least limit the damage to "actual" JS implementations, it's a bit better..

[Etienne]

what looks promising is having a jsLib module, having my shared js depend on it. With some judicious use of typealias, should end up with a shared module that mostly has common code.

[Etienne]

I really find it's the android gradle plugin messing things up. So, I'll also be trying a library module, with `jvm`/`js`/`native` configurations.

[Etienne]

need to test to be sure it'll be something iOS/Android will be able to use, but that also looks promising.

[Etienne]

2 possible workarounds. I'll let you know how well it went 🙂

Nice!!!
