Eclipse Can't Read Code Format Of Renderscript .rs File

I have a very good Java knowledge for Android (1 year of development), and now I'm trying to learn the Android RenderScript API (but there isn't much documentations for it) anyway,

Solution 1:

The C99 specification RenderScript uses for its kernel code is simply C, so you can use any editor capable of editing C/C++ files such as those two you mentioned. This should help you get syntax highlighting at least. You'll just need to configure them to treat .rs files as C code. See for example this page that explains how to do that in Notepad++.

If you really want to keep everything within Eclipse though, you could also try installing the C development environment for Eclipse, but that might be overkill just to get syntax highlighting there. I doubt you would get any actual context/function help or better error reporting with that, since the RS API is still not well integrated into any IDE anyway.
