Android development with lombok is possible. Lombok should be a compile-time only dependency, as otherwise the entirety of lombok will end up in your DEX files, wasting precious space on android devices. Also, errors will occur due to the native libraries present in lombok.jar itself. Unfortunately, android does not (yet) understand the concept of a compile-time-only dependency, so you need to mess with your build files to make it work.
The instructions listed below are excerpts from The
AndroidAnnotations project cookbook. You may wish to refer to that documentation for complete instructions; lombok is just
the equivalent to androidannotations-VERSION.jar; there is no -api aspect.
java -jar lombok.jar publicApiThen, add this jar to your android project, and, as usual, install lombok into eclipse.
build.xml in ${ANDROID_SDK_ROOT}/tools/ant/build.xml and copy the -compile target into the paste buffer.
build.xml of your own project, right before the <import file="${sdk.dir}/tools/ant/build.xml"> line.
compile-libs directory in your own project and copy the complete lombok.jar to it.
<classpath> entry inside the <javac> task in the -compile target you just copied:<fileset dir="compile-libs" includes="*.jar" /> to it.
