I tried to prepare build for Netbeans 8.1 Dev (2015-10-02). Binary distribution if someone want to test it can be found here https://bitbucket.org/jherkel/nbandroid/downloads/nbandroid-81-test.zip.
-
Is there a patch needed or just rebuild against NB8.1? If the former would you mind to provide a PR?
-
I needed to fix some source code files, I added some dependencies and also fixed location for the gradle plugin. I installed the gradle plugin via shared directory and added "Extra" cluster to main project. But I'm not sure if it was a correct way how to do it because I'm not familiar with ant build. So probably you will need to fix some things.
-
Is there any way to install it on the latest RC??

I also don't manage to install NBAndroid in NB8.1 Beta. I get the same error dialog about the Common Test Runner API Plugin required.

Same error dialog here. I am a big fan of nbandroid, for me it is much better to develop for Android than Android Studio. Anyone working on this problem? Do I have to worry about the future of nbandroid?

Re Werner: I resumed some work to get this working. OTOH I do not want to spent my time on this project as I have other things to do. Most likely I will set up a bounty to complete this at freedomsponsors.org or similar. You could have seen this earlier when I posted http://www.nbandroid.org/2015/02/extensions-open-sourced.html

Quick update: most important part of modules is now updated to build and run with NetBeans 8.1. Hopefully I will finish the refresh in a few more days.

when it done?

Whoever wants to see the fix published please consider sponsoring this issues at https://freedomsponsors.org/issue/739/nbandroid-will-not-install-in-netbeans-81-beta and I'll push updated version when $200 is collected.

See http://www.nbandroid.org/2015/11/support-for-netbeans-81-released.html - to get the update you need to use a different AutoUpdate URL http://nbandroid.org/release81/updates/updates.xml

@radim sure this is helpful

This is a change in NetBeans implementation that forces me to create a fork of this module and publish it separately with a different dependency. I am assuming that the API that is accessed from nbandroid is not broken.
It can take a while before a I find time to do this.
