Developing for android on android? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

There's no app to simple app development (like appinventor) to do it on the phone or tablet? Maybe the easiest way is to run ubuntu and install SDK, eclipse...? What do you think?

App inventor is still going for now I think but next easiest way is a basic programming language basic4android which though easy to learn and use can produce very complex apps I created media streaming and contact widget apps and others have created bittorent search engines, video players, spreadsheet apps and games so is something worth looking into as it also has an ide you can use to develop on your android device though main ide is windows based.

Terminal IDE is what you want. You should know basic Linux terminal commands to use it, but it has good tutorials... It's a large app (~30MB) but it's an entire terminal emulator with the ability to develop Java on your Android. It also doesn't require root.

Oh that's good to know. Where can I download? So basically the development is done via command line?

Every info site (like gsmarena.com) i've seen says Xperia mini does support Java, using Midp emulator. But what the hell? I have no kind of emulator on my phone to run .jar files at all.

"Itunes U" app for android

»»»» Tunesviewer «««««
Hey guyz, i found an app similar to iphone app "itunes u"
You can download mp4 lectures.
iweb.dl.sourceforge.net/project/tunesviewer/Android/tunesviewer-1.2.apk
Its a gem if you understand what it exactly does.

It's now also on FDroid repository, the repository of free Android software. The latest is 1.2.1 by the way.
TuneSpace App
Alternatively I can recommend the iTunes U App "TuneSpace" for Android which is available on Google Play

I see TuneSpace developers know what I need to know.
I am venturing into the same space by making an app for GoogleTV that stream iTunes U lectures. Once I master how to navigate to the proper streaming URL same way that TuneSpace does then the rest is easy.
app was "disappeared"?
Does anyone have any idea what happened to this app? I was looking for it to view podcasts for a course I am taking and it has been removed from Google playstore. I haven't been able to find any details of why or any alternate app to view the podcasts. Thanks if anyone has any knowledge that may help.

Porting applications

Is it possible to port a silver light web application into an android app? How would one go about doing this?

I think there was some work done a while ago to port the Linux Silverlight alternative called Moonlight to Android. I don't think it got very far.
Moonlight is missing some things like DRM which Microsoft won't share (no surprise there) so things like Netflix won't work.

Would it be possible to port an silver light application to java and then to android?

That I couldn't tell you. I would imagine you could just write it in Java or C# and make it Android native though

HTML5 Viability

Is HTML5 a viable language/format for Android app development? If so, what's a good IDE for it?
Im not quite remember, but there is a thing which can be used with MVS. I don't remember it's name clearly.

There are plenty of IDEs / SDKs out there, if you're used to native development in Eclipse, I'd highly recommend Titanium Appcelerator (HTML5, CSS3, Javascript) Phonegap is another great tool for multiplatform development. Intel has an IDE that runs as a Chrome extension, but, that's still in beta last time I checked
I can recommend Phonegap. Also if you want to develop in HTML you must consider the performance limitations. From my own perspective I would not develop in HTML.
wow this is excellent ...

I've tried in the past to develop using Java and Eclipse, but honestly, it's completely beyond me. I'm a web developer specializing in PHP.

My company has used it. I believe it's around $1,000 USD per license. It works well for our apps we have made. The apps are quite basic and basically present documents and record a score the user gives it.

Do you have any issue with the current ART runtime?
We haven't tried using ART with it.
