All Android developers I know use Eclipse. But I got used to NetBeans developing some web applications. Now, when I want to try Android development, I want to know if NetBeans is a good choice for that. I've searched for the NetBeans' plugin description, the first post I found started with a phrase "We're alive!", which made me wonder if they are really. So, this is the question. Is developing for Android in NetBeans a good option?
Developing Android in NetBeans or even from command prompt is possible.
But Android is best pair with Eclipse which is recommended by Google for Android App Development.
To develop in netbeans pleas look at this link:

I wanted to enable one of my Android project to the new KMM but will deploy only for Android platform for the time being. According to this FAQ page it seems that the plugin works only for macOS. But was confused on the next paragraph stating
The good news is that you can work with cross-platform projects on
Android even without the Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile plugin. If you
are going to work with shared code or Android-specific code, you can
work on any operating system supported by Android Studio.
I am not planning yet to run the iOS part as I am still learning it, all I want for now is to prepare my project so when I am confident with my iOS skill starting it would be easy. I do not have a good Mac device as of now that is why I prefer to use my Windows machine for now which is more reliable for heavy stuff like Android development.
I just found the right place and reference and it is possible according to this documentation
I want to create a mobile app from scratch, but I'm not sure what development environment to use. I have a Windows machine, so I can't use Xcode. I think Visual Studio has mobile app programming capabilities? But I am not sure. I have never built a mobile app before. For all other coding projects I have used Visual Studio Code.
I am also wondering: for technical interviews, I know employers like to see projects that you have worked on outside of school/work. Can I consider this app (once I complete it) as a project that I can talk about during an interview even if I don't publish it to an app store? Or is this frowned upon?
Thanks in advance!
I'm going to learn a to develop android apps ( I'm web developer right now ) but I'm confused about the Ide which I should start with.
I know android studio is suggested IDE for android development by google. On the other hand, the embarcadero claims that by their IDE you can develop your app for android, IOS, Win10, and mac which sounds really tempting. can any one clarify the pros and cons of each IDE?
I use Delphi for application development mainly because my application run on windows, android and ios with same code. If your aim is to target multiple platforms without additional work Delphi is a good choice. Another advantage of using Delphi is it is a Rapid Application Developmet tool that means less time developing.
Just try both of them. A list of things like: better refactor tools, elegant UI, performance, and etc needed to be consider to choose which to use. It was USELESS if you don't download and try them, they sure have different pros and cons. BTW I'll recommend Android Studio since I used it from start and have not encounters any big trouble yet, it get frequent updates too. And recently I've heard about Appcelerator Studio which seem like a great IDE tool, but it was not free.
You can look into the prospect of using IBM Mobile First platform for developing native as well hybrid apps. End to end tutorials could be found here https://developer.ibm.com/mobilefirstplatform/documentation/getting-started-7-1/foundation/all-tutorials/
Was wondering if anyone knew of some third party android development toolkits.
I have found Basic4Android.
Was wondering what other options are available.Language does not matter.
Thanks
Qt for Android (Alpha version) got launched last week.
Motorola has a custom dev environment built on top of eclipse (MOTODEV). It is not Motorola specific and you can use it for regular development. I have been playing around with it for a week and it is much more convenient than the standard Android Eclipse plugin.
EDIT: Forgot to mention there is AppInventor (currently in Beta) which is a drag and drop development environment from Google. It is a useful tool if you want to get a feel for development or you are developing just for your phone. It does not generate Java code (as yet) and there some restrictions on it like only single screen apps are supported. It has got a healthy community and lot of college students (in the U.S) seem to be using it.
MonoDroid is also another development stack for Android using C# and .NET API's. You can use Microsoft Visual Studio IDE to develop applications using MonoDroid.
Is there a desktop based programming tool similar to App Inventor for Android(this is web-based) for end users who do not know any programming language?
HyperNext Android Creator is a desktop based programming tool aimed at beginner Android programmers. Currently it only runs on Windows platform but OS X version is in development. Users do not have to know Java or understand the Android SDK as it uses an English-like scripting language and its IDE has a built in screen designer.
There is an Hello World tutorial here:-
http://www.hypernextandroid.com/hnfiles/progfirst.html
A free trial version that builds apps/games for both Android devices and Emulator can be found here:-
http://www.hypernextandroid.com/index.html
There is also a projects page and some .apk demo files for downlaoding straight onto Android device.
The only thing I can think of that comes remotely close to that would be Scratch and then using an Exe Creator
For making apps with app inventor you need not need any programming experience at all. The code is framed itself, you just have to put in your imagination into logic (in blocks editor)
