ADFA-2717

New file on a src/<sourceSet>/cpp folder now opens a C/C++ dialog: C or C++, then Source, Header or Class (C++ only). Headers get an include guard; Class creates Name.h declaring the class and Name.cpp including it. Existing files are not overwritten.

  • The dialog's long-press help uses a new tag, project.folder.newnative, which needs a documentation.db row; until then it shows nothing.
  • Font scale 2.0 not yet checked on device.

New file on a src/<sourceSet>/cpp folder now asks for C or C++ and for
Source, Header or Class (C++ only), instead of a bare name prompt.
Headers get an include guard; a class creates Name.h declaring it and
Name.cpp including it. Existing files are never overwritten.

📝 Summary
  • Add a C/C++ file-creation dialog for src/<sourceSet>/cpp folders. Users can create source files and headers in C or C++, and C++ classes.
  • Generate include guards for headers. Generate both Name.h and Name.cpp for C++ classes.
  • Validate names, limit filenames to 40 characters, and reject creation when an output file already exists.
  • Add NativeSourceBuilder and unit tests for file generation, name validation, extensions, and locale-independent include guards.
  • Add the project.folder.newnative tooltip tag. Its help text requires a matching documentation.db entry; otherwise, the dialog’s long-press help will be blank.
  • Risk: Font scale 2.0 has not been checked on a device.
  • Tests: The supplied information lists new tests but does not report test execution results.

Walkthrough

The file-tree action now opens a native-file dialog for matching C/C++ source directories. The dialog supports source, header, and C++ class files. NativeSourceBuilder validates names and generates file contents.

Native file contracts and generation
app/src/main/java/com/itsaky/androidide/utils/NativeSourceBuilder.kt, app/src/test/java/com/itsaky/androidide/utils/NativeSourceBuilderTest.kt
NativeSourceBuilder defines supported languages and file kinds, validates filenames, and generates source, header, and class files. Tests cover generation, extensions, and validation.

NewFileAction opens the dialog for matching C/C++ directories, updates selections and suffixes, validates names and output files, and creates generated files. The layout, resource labels, tooltip tag, and shared 40-character limit support this flow.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to cc00f

Native file creation has two narrow edge cases worth fixing: a filesystem permission error can close the app, and some generated headers use reserved identifiers. These do not appear to block the usual creation flow.

Handle native dialog filesystem errors.

File.exists() can throw SecurityException, and the native click callback does not catch it. The preceding validation makes the stated NativeSourceBuilder.createFiles IllegalArgumentException path unreachable for normal input. FileActionManager.createFile already handles its own IllegalArgumentException and reports failures asynchronously.

Add the same cancellation-preserving handler used by createJavaClass around doCreateNativeSource.

Suggested fix
-				doCreateNativeSource(binding, directory, node)
+				try {
+					doCreateNativeSource(binding, directory, node)
+				} catch (e: CancellationException) {
+					throw e
+				} catch (e: Exception) {
+					log.error("Failed to create native source file", e)
+					flashError(e.cause?.message ?: e.message)

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Header guard for a name that starts with an underscore is reserved.

For a name such as _impl2, the guard becomes _IMPL2_H. An identifier that starts with an underscore followed by an uppercase letter is reserved for the implementation. FILE_NAME allows a leading underscore, so this case is reachable. Prefix the guard with a letter when the name starts with _. Update the test expectations if you add this.

Proposed fix
-		val guard = "${name.uppercase(Locale.ROOT).replace('-', '_')}_H"
+		val base = name.uppercase(Locale.ROOT).replace('-', '_')
+		val guard = "${if (base.startsWith("_")) "H" else ""}${base}_H"

Based on learnings: avoid header guards that start with an underscore followed by an uppercase letter, because such identifiers are reserved for the implementation.
