Anybody else writing Android apps?

[Carl Foxmarten]

I'm "stuck" with using Android 1.6 for now, because that's what the tablet my parents got me runs.
Yes it's rather cheap, but it makes a great common-denominator target because it's so old and slow.
If I can make it run smoothly on that, it should run smoothly on anything faster.
I just have to make sure that I handle the differences between versions gracefully.

When I'm finished this project, I'll considering upgrading to another Android tablet, then write stuff for 2.1, but we'll see.

What program are you guys using to write? Are you using Eclipse or is there something better?

Someone mentioned PhoneGap above, but honestly, you're not going to get much better than Ecplise. It's possible one of the most flexible and best Java IDEs out there. Plus, if you mod the crap out of it, it'll be 80% like visual studio and not such as much :D

I have been having some problems installing the android stuff in Eclipse. I think it is working now though... how would you suggest modding it?

Changing all the keyboard settings, adjusting the UI, tweaking the options, etc. Everything is changeable in the UI.

PhoneGap's just the technology and doesn't include an IDE. I use Eclipse or SpringSource Tool Suite, which is Eclipse-based and includes a bunch of Spring framework extensions.

I'm honestly not a big Eclipse fan and I think both NetBeans and JDeveloper (probably IDEA too) are better-coded IDEs, but it's what people write plugins for, which means using anything else can be a bit of a pain.

I'm using Eclipse. Mostly because I know it already, and with the Android plugins, it's really easy to handle all the XML files that an Android project uses.

What, you can't be both?

IT is really the classic furry occupation.

Hmm, I didn't know that.
That makes me feel better. =^.^=
