Scala Programming for Android

Question

I have followed the tutorial at Scala and Android with Scala 2.7.3 final. The resulting Android App works but even the most basic application takes several minutes

Answer 1

The biggest issue with Scala on Android is the compile times.

Possibly because of the Proguard class stripping compiles with IDEA13/Scala plugin on a Dual Quad Core (8-CPU) E5450 Xeon with 8GB can take two minutes or more.

I simply moved back to Java after completing a largish Scala Android project as compile times were too frustrating.
