A collection of Android Studio Live Templates for the lazy developers

Android Studio Live Templates

Collection of my personal Live Templates for Android Studio / Intellij IDEA.

Be Lazy. Be Productive.

android-studio-live-templates's Issues

Are you still maintaining it?

IDE internal error occurs when creating new DataBinding Activity : Error executing FreeMarker template: The following has evaluated to null or missing

Error executing FreeMarker template: The following has evaluated to null or missing:
==> applicationPackage [in template "root://other/DataBindingNewActivity/root/src/app_package/BindingActivity.kt.ftl" at line 6, column 10]

Tip: If the failing expression is known to be legally null/missing, either specify a default value with myOptionalVar!myDefault, or use <#if myOptionalVar??>when-present<#else>when-missing</#if>. (These only cover the last step of the expression; to cover the whole expression, use parenthessis: (myOptionVar.foo)!myDefault, (myOptionVar.foo)??

The failing instruction:
==> ${applicationPackage} [in template "root://other/DataBindingNewActivity/root/src/app_package/BindingActivity.kt.ftl" at line 6, column 8]
