Have you looked at the usage guides for the various plugins [1][2]?

I can't remember anymore what I tried and what I didn't :) At the end, I mostly tried not to bang my head against the wall.

Anyway, even your second link stresses: "The primary IDE recommendation is IntelliJ, not Android Studio nor Eclipse". My IDE of choice is Android Studio, and it not being particularly recommended is a red light to me already. Maybe I'm just traumatized.

I'm surely lazy. I wish Google made Scala support for Android official and integrated it seamlessly.

That recommendations is strange. The directions just have you include an almost standard version of the IntelliJ plugin for SBT (it is the standard plugin with an extra bug fix). So, any of these IDEs should work without issue. You just need to set up the standard SBT plugins for integrating those IDEs.

Seriously? Android Studio is just a stripped down IDEA with an extra plugin anyway. If you already use AS, there is zero reason not to just import your config into IDEA instead.
