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.

Developing for android on android?

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.

Thanks for the info. I'm still thinking of where to start.

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?

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

Ubuntu Touch App Development Contest

Canonical is kicking off an app developer competition for Ubuntu Touch and the new Ubuntu SDK! It's a 6 week contest where you can build a new original app for Ubuntu Touch or port an exiting app from another platform. We have three Nexus 4 phones that will be given away as prizes, running Ubuntu Touch of course, and with the winning apps pre-installed on them.

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.

Full desktop?

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.

Yep, I totally agree, full convergence will be awesome. I'm eagerly waiting for it.

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.
