Yo Dawg, I heard you like apps so I got you an app to compile apps. - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

So you can make apps on your app while you run other apps.

Anyway.
AIDE is an integrated development environment (IDE) for developing real Android Apps directly on Android devices. AIDE supports the full edit-compile-run cycle: write code with the feature rich editor offering advanced features like code completion, real-time error checking, refactoring and smart code navigation, and run your App with a single click.
AIDE will turn your Android tablet with keyboard into a real development box. We use the Transformer Prime running Ice Cream Sandwich to code with AIDE. AIDE will turn your Android Phone into a small development computer to browse and touch your code on the go.
AIDE is fully compatible with Eclipse projects. Just copy the sourcecode to your device, open any source file in AIDE to load the project and start coding.

Awesome, I've been looking for something like this. Thanks for letting us know.

learning java myself! I've been using the cbt nuggets video series, I watch a 30 minute nugget here and there on my prime. Had to convert them to mp4 though because they were in wmv when I downloaded them.
I hope to port a few linux apps to android soon. I've got graphic design experience too so it should help with gui's and object oriented programming.

Pitty that debugging tools aren't available. Besides that, it allows for code refactoring, auto-complete, syntax highlighting and a few neat stuff. Tried importing a few of my projects and even those with dozens of files it managed to work well. Definitively useful when away from pc. Add support for SVN/CVS/GIT and it would be (even more) awesome!

---

YES!!!
This is awesome!
With a debugger and a version control system integration it will be a full fledged development app.

---

I think that this is going to be very useful for testing and tweaking apps on the hardware. Do most of the hard coding and debugging on your desktop, transfer the project over to the device and tweak as you test, brilliant!

You can always multi task to a terminal app and run version control through a chroot.
AIDE and the ability to use a real keyboard IMHO, makes Android about as self hosting as we're likely to get for a few more years, short of being able to compile and bake in your ROM from your ROM.
The Android SDK works mostly fine on Android in a chroot with Java, even if you don't do the Xvnc thing...but it relies on an x86 program called aapt -- that AIDE has built for ARM .

Thanks OP. This is great news. Might start messing around with it myself.

I got this the day it came out and it is SO amazing!!! I've never done any coding of anything on android or any thing for that matter, but using this I'm already making an app. It might just be that I thought this was so cool that I actually tried to make one or that it makes it so easy, but either way this app is awesome!!!! Also the developer is using an asus prime and updates frequently(both pluses, especially for us prime owners)
