Sorry, I meant “@Simon and @Robert”.
@Mark, thanks for sharing your post, I might try your approach.

I agree with @Robert and @Mark, it is a pity some way cannot be found to allow for seamless Android development support making it’s way into the Community Edition. It would really help to open up the market for IDEA since not everyone is exclusively committed to Eclipse, or Netbeans, for that matter.

I use “android create project” from the command line to lay out the project folders and default files. Then I create an Idea project over the existing source. That way I have the ant build scripts as well as the Idea project. I use the ant for building a signed version, for one thing. I really find it useful to have the ant scripts that “android create project” generate.

I really wish this was in the community edition or a cheap version. After the 30 day trial is up, there’s no way I’m paying $250 to play around with Android apps in my spare time. With the price factor and lack of tutorials, I’m better off sticking with Eclipse (and waiting for Google’s free App Inventor).

Disappointed Android support is not in the community edition - Just the sort of thing I want to play around with in my spare time. Now i’m going have to use Eclipse

Consider adding more words and/or a screenshot concerning the creation of “Android platform” in the 4th step of making a new project. The problem I hit when doing this, for the very first time, was that to create a new “Android platform”, the “Select path” dialog actually wants the parent folder of the overall android SDK. (Offering it, for example, the “android-8″ folder under /platforms/ gets a disabled Ok button). In other words, for Intellij’s label of “new” under “Android platform”, you should actually give it the root SDK, not an individual platform.

How do you open/import a project you already have code for?

This is awesome and I am relieved to be able to keep going with IntelliJ even when using Android. One problem I found is that creating the project like this rather than with using the android command does not create any build script so you can not build the project on the command line. Could you add that back in? Or even add Maven support?
