Need to use Team Foundation client in Android Studio probable alternatives/workarounds?

I have a scenario wherein. I need to use android studio as IDE and Team foundation Server as source control repository.

The problem is there is no plugin for TFS in android studio. And there is no standalone client for TFS(Windows)

I tried using Tortoise SVN with SvnBridge to connect to TFS. But it does not work.It seems there is a bug in SVNBridge.

Any suggestions, how to get this working?

Thanks

Team Explorer connects Visual Studio 2019 and earlier to Team Foundation version control (TFVC) repositories, and to projects hosted on Azure DevOps Services or an on-premises Azure DevOps Server (formerly known as Team Foundation Server, or TFS). You can manage source code, work items, and builds. Important.

You can get the TFS project from Visual Studio. First, you have to connect the project via Team Explorer in Visual Studio then add a server and click 'select team project' and you're done. It is downloaded to your PC. You can find a documentation here.

Answering my own question:

There is no possible way to use TFS with android studio. We have to wait for AS 1.0 release. Then they might migrate all features of Intellij to AS. And then it might have TFS support.Still no confirmation.

There are a few solutions:

  • If you are using Visual Studio Team Services (visualstudio.com) or TFS 2013 you can use git and any free git client you like.

  • If you are running on Linux/Mac you can use the Team Explorer Everywhere command line.

  • If you are using Windows, installing Visual Studio will give you a "tf" command line. If you are using an Express Edition (or don't have Visual Studio) you will need Team Explorer or even Team Explorer Everywhere.

  • You can also see if the MSSCCI providers integrate with Android Studio.
