Hiya Benny... congrats on getting an app up there
I did all my projects in Eclipse too, and hated it, so it's exciting to hear that you think Android Studio is much better and worth rewriting your apps from scratch in What's different about it?
When I switched over from Windows to Linux (the first time) I was silly enough to try and back up all my projects by zipping them. It didn't work properly because of the path and filename lengths, so I ended up with many half-zipped projects along with odd standalone files that wouldn't zip... nothing that I could easily restore in one fell swoop That was after I'd already put android on the backburner so it didn't seem a big deal at the time... just archive it as much as you can and if you ever need it again, figure out how to put it back together. So anyway even though Eclipse is available in Linux whenever I thought I'd give it another go I just got discouraged, thinking I've gotta copy and paste the code in first and if I'm lucky it'll work, and even if it does then I'll be back to the ever-frustrating world of Android programming in Eclipse and on a small netbook. But now I'm back to Windows and on a powerful laptop and if Android Studio is substantially different and worth starting from scratch in, I think it might be worth giving it a go again I'm kind of fed up with having a useful app on my phone, as the only backup of it, but no easy access to it's source code, so if I could rewrite it from scratch/copypasta it in in Android Studio, that would be cool
