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.

Hello there,
I'm willing to buy an asus transformer tablet and I need to know if there is any possibility to run internet explorer on it, cause I need it for my job and all other browsers aren't fully compatible with the online system of my company. Thanks in advance
I don't believe it will ever be possible at all to run Internet Explorer on Android, specifically because it's Internet Explorer. I don't think you'll ever see it happen, sorry.
I would like more chrome google for android, but I do not think it is possible
Unlikely, Internet Explorer as a Microsoft product is only made for Windows Vista+ (XP is no longer supported as of IE9) and Windows Phone/Zune at this point. The Mac version was last supported up to IE 5.2.3. You could always use a browser that lets you change the user agent. My college forces use to use IE to log into their site, however, I managed to get in with Midori (as a linux user).
As for the Transformer, I have one of those my self and love it. I just want Dolphin Tab to improve (note: Dolphin DOES support the ability to change your user agent.
You could also use splashtop HD to connect to a home computer running windows and use IE from there, I did that to run Windows Developer Preview.
chrome lite is good

In my experience when I have ran into this Firefox has been accepted as an alternative to IE, but I know it wouldn't work every time.

You will never get internet explorer on Android. Don't hold out for it.
You definitely can try using a browser that allows you to change the user agent, but be sure to test it on your current computer before buying android. Many IE-only websites won't display correctly (or at all) in other browsers, regardless of what the user agent is set to. Its unfortunately common.

I need to use a particular website for work which requires IE browser and the closest I've got is with Firefox and adding an add on called Phony. Although the formatting isn't the best and i can't view some menu items due to this. So really is a pain and not much good in the scheme of things.

Long story short.
IE on android? No, not going to happen.
IE on windows on android, maybe.

Probably the multitude of people that have to use it because colleges and corporations require it.

Well, in that case they need to switch, I mean IE is only used to download other browsers

I haven't tried this, but it should work
1.Download Dolphin Browser
2. go to Menu> More> Settings> Dolphin settings> User Agent>
3.click custom
4.enter
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/5.0
or another useragent string(you can get them here: useragentstring.com/pages/Internet%20Explorer/)
What do you want IE?
Not available for android.
Chrome is better
Why are so many people asking WHY he wants it? Can you not read the OP? It clearly states other browsers don't work for his job.
OP, sorry to say, this probably will not come to fruition. =(
I really hate those websites that don't work on other browsers, except the worst browser I ever saw.

Yeah, it's easy for us to say that, but try convincing IT managers from nearly every medium/large corporation in America to switch to browsers made by smaller firms that can't offer the huge support base that MS has. Firefox would be the most viable alternative, but mozilla's already turned away large groups of potential users with their update methodology.

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.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA App
Oh that's good to know. Where can I download? So basically the development is done via command line?

Mozilla's engineering efforts are probably too focused on their own phone OS at the moment to consider porting their browser to others.

Qml qt firefox
As I am aware of Mozilla already has a coded app for Firefox Meego
which has the same luanguge although not built in ubuntus sdk it does run in qt qml.
I can be simply ported in a matter of weeks but I doubt
Cannonical will do so for ubuntu touch and mozilla is focused on other more established.platforms ill ask around gplus and nokia forums maybe we can have community members help to port it

Just wondering, is the current Ubuntu Touch supporting a full desktop when connected to a monitor like through an HDMI?
I saw videos from Ubuntu on this feature and wanted to know if it working?

It's not working yet. Canonical has proven that the concept can work by its Ubuntu for Android project. After the release of version 14.04 two weeks ago, they will start work on bringing Unity 8 (the desktop environment, current desktop version is 7 while the phone version is already Unity 8) and the Mir display server to the desktop. Afterwards, it should theoretically be possible to do that stuff. Additionally, they will continue to improve their SDK for the development of Ubuntu apps which already work on all platforms (phone, tablet and desktop) and adjust to screen size.
The whole concept is what they call Convergence.

Some of their ideas for convergence are quite awesome. The recent news has been that they have stopped the Ubuntu for Android project. I have been wondering since where their views on complete integration, their "one device to rule the all" direction, is heading.

It's great on both PC and mobile. However, on mobile it still has a long way to go until it reaches the state when it can be used by the average end-user. Keep in mind that it's making progress very fast though.
hi
sorry if these qns are not allow in this forum. but im trying to develop an app that will be for both android and ios. xamarin seems promissing in this field but are there alot of apps developed with this technology?
i already have the prototype of my app in Java so now im stuck whether to port the app to objective c or c# for xamarin.

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.
