Anyone know of a Subversion client for Android OS? Same goes for a syntax highlighting text editor on there.

I have written a SVN Client for android. It is called Open Android SVN (OASVN)
Here is a link to it on the android play market : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.valleytg.oasvn.android
Can do checkout, update, commit, cleanup, revert, export, and much more in the works.
Works with http, https, svn protocols and svn+ssh is experimental.
I will be adding merging and other features soon.

I don't know anything about its quality, but Subdroid is available in the Android market with both free and inexpensive (~1 euro) versions.

I was just thinking today that I'd like a text editor and an SVN client for Android! I couldn't find the latter, but I do know that http://svnkit.com/ would probably be a pretty good place to start.

There is an app called Touchqode which has syntax highlighting and ftp download. It comes with its own "programing optimized" keyboard. It seems pretty good for a beginning of one of the first android IDEs. I guess you can get some compilers for it too.
What I've done a few times is use a SSH client to log into my web server (but it could be your home or work machine), use SVN on there to check out the code, then use Touchqode's FTP function to work on the code from my web server. Not as elegant or convenient as using a real svn client right on Android, but it gets the job done.
From the author:
Make use of time while commuting or waiting. View and edit source code anywhere.
View and edit source code on Android phone. Touchqode is a true mobile code editor that comes with syntax highlighting, autocomplete and other features found in a desktop IDE. We support Java, HTML, JavaScript, Python, C++, C#, Ruby and PHP. Now with integrated FTP and SFTP client.

I just started testing IDEdroid and TextWarrior recently. My mini review so far for both below:
IDEdroid
Decent interface and Syntax highlighting, allows you to test code on the ideone.com web site.
TextWarrior
Pretty nice interface, Syntax highlighting for C, C++ and Java only though.

The only text editor I have found that has any kind of syntax highlighting is SilverEdit. It only does html, css and xml though, and seems generally buggy.

It's an odd request. Going to say it doesn't exist. You might be able to port Eclipse's native-java based SVN client but it would be a hack.
If the SVN server is hosted via HTTP, you could write some Delta-V\WebDav calls to access it without a lot of work.

if you root your phone and install debian on it
http://www.androidfanatic.com/community-forums.html?func=view&catid=9&id=2248
then you can easily install the debian client

I use the Android CodePad which has syntax highlighting to browse code. I find writing code on the android phone is too cumbersome in most cases.

AIDE is a new full Android IDE for developing Android apps. It doesn't have SVN support but it can edit, compile, and run Android applications directly on the device. This in combination with an SVN app would be extremely powerful.

I am about to start developing an android app and need to get an IDE. Eclipse and the android eclipse plugin appears to be the natural choice. However I am familiar with intelliJ and re-sharper so I would prefer use intelliJ.
Has anyone used https://code.google.com/archive/p/idea-android/? Is this any good?
Should I just bite the bullet and learn Eclipse?

LATEST NEWS
Android Studio has officially come out of beta and been released. It is now the official IDE for Android Development - Eclipse won't be supported anymore. It is definitely the IDE of choice for Android Development. Link to download page: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
NEWS
As of Google I/O 2013, the Android team has moved to IntelliJ Idea with the new Android Studio IDE: http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/studio.html
Great to see Google endorse Idea. It is safe to say that Android Studio, and thus Idea, will from now on be the definitive IDE for Android development! :D
ORIGINAL ANSWER
IntelliJ now has support for Android. See Enabling Android Support from the JetBrains help page and the Google Code project page for the plugin. The Getting Started wiki page is pretty helpful.
If you are used to IntelliJ, I don't think it would be beneficial to switch IDEs just for Android tools. You can work on Android with any text editor (I use Vim). If you're more productive with a specific environment I don't see why you'd have to learn a new one. Not worth it in my opinion. Plus I'm a big IntelliJ fan. The IntelliJ plugin lets you make apk files and push the app to the emulator, that's all you need for Android app development. I'd say you're safe sticking with IntelliJ.
Update: there is now an official free IDE for IntelliJ android dev! http://blogs.jetbrains.com/idea/2010/10/intellij-idea-10-free-ide-for-android-development/

Eclipse is not that hard to learn (I use both Eclipse and NetBeans, and I switch back and forth pretty effortlessly). If you're going to be learning Android development from the start, I can recommend Hello, Android, which I just finished. It shows you exactly how to use all the features of Eclipse that are useful for developing Android apps. There's also a brief section on getting set up to develop from the command line and from other IDEs.

Of the existing IDEs, Ted Neward ranks them this way:
Best: IntelliJ IDEA
Second: Netbeans
Third: Eclipse
He seems to think that Eclipse throws up a lot of "friction"; hard to say what that means.
Edit, years later: After attempting to use Eclipse/Aptana for node development and using JetBrains products for node and ruby development I would absolutely start with IntelliJ IDEA and give that a try for the 30 day trial.

Unfortunately, there is no perfect IDE for Android. Eclipse has more features as it is the only IDE google developed plugin for. However, if you are just like me, tired of crashes and weired debug/develop mode swithes, Use Netbeans plugin from http://nbandroid.kenai.com.

If you do android native code development using NDK, give Visual Studio a try. (Not a typo!!!) Check out: http://ian-ni-lewis.blogspot.com/2011/01/its-like-coming-home-again.html
and: http://code.google.com/p/vs-android/

I think intellij is the best option for android. i have used both eclipse and intellij and found intellij is much easier to use with android as compared to eclipse because of these reasons :-
Intellij provides a built-in support for android and you don't have to configure it as you need to do with eclipse.
Intellij gives you auto-lookup feature which is really important for developer like us to increase our productivity. And if we talk about eclipse you have to type each and every method, classname etc on your own. (May be eclipse has this feature too but i never found it and trust me i tried to find it like anything)
Its much more user friendly and easy to use than eclipse.
I hope it will help you and other members of stack overflow to decide which IDE is best for Android development.
My personal choice is Intellij.
EDIT
But there is one thing i love about eclipse and that is visual layout creator. You can use drag and drop technique to create a layout and eclipse will automatically generate an XML file for you just like XCODE.
EDIT
Good News!! Intellij added a new feature which shows how your app's view is going to look like. It doesn't work exactly like Eclipse but it will give you a good idea about your layout.
My personal choice is still Intellij because it helps me to type faster than eclipse.
EDIT
Ok guys these days i am using eclipse juno and found its kind of buggy and slow. So if you still want to use eclipse better stick to some older version. And finally i am able to found how to enable auto-complete in eclipse. Below is a small tutorial.
Eclipse -> Preference - > Java -> Editor -> Content Assist -> Auto Activation
Now put following in the three given boxes
Auto Activation delay(ms) - 0
Auto activation triggers for java - .(abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
Auto activation triggers for javadoc - ##
You are now good to go. Happy coding.
EDIT
As now Google has adopted Intellij for their own Android dev tool, there is no question now about which one is better. Intellij is far far better than eclipse. And i switched back to Intellij and it feels like i am back home!! :D

All of the full-featured Java IDE's are good and share all of the same concepts and main features. If you can find your way around one you can probably do the same for any other without much trouble.
EDIT: Google gave us a wonderful gift with the new and free AndroidStudio is very good. I highly recommend it over Eclipse.

If you haven't installed Eclipse yet, I'd recommend Motorola's MotoDev Studio. It does a lot of the annoying little tasks like set up your Android environment along with your paths, and adds a lot of nice built in functionality to Eclipse.
Even if you've already installed Eclipse, you can add it as a plugin (I haven't tried that myself). It is by Motorola, so they have some Motorola centric functionality as well, such as the ability to add your app to the Motorola market. Anyway if you're interested, give it a shot: http://developer.motorola.com/docstools/motodevstudio/

I've been using IntelliJ IDEA for the last 12 months now as my main IDE, but I am often forced to use Eclipse as well. So when I have to work in Eclipse I start biting my nails. I will sum up my pros and cons.
Eclipse pros:
- visual editor. IDEA has one as well, but it's rather primitive. I suspect that this feature will soon be deleted as IDEA will improve its editor.
- many projects into one right pane (this is also my personal con as I like IDEA's one-project-per-pane thing)
- faster compiles Android projects. IDEA has made its compilation process faster, so I also soon expect to delete this Eclipse pro
IDEA pros:
- faster intellisense (if you like Resharper, then you know what I am talking about)
- smarter autocomplete - my friend and I decided to write the same class. I finished before him simply because IDEA faster reacts to my wishes
- incredibly smart - do not know what to do? just press Ctrl+Shift+Space and IDEA will tell you what should come there. It also recognizes naming scheme to if you're filling name object, it will first display getName method.
- will add more as I remember of them
IDEA cons:
- Still the only con is that if you open Eclipse Android project and edit any XML layout file, Eclipse will no longer be able to display edited file into its visual layout editor. This has not been fixed as of this day and it's IDEA's bug as it somehow messes the XML.
Bottom line: if you're a person who does not see advantages of ReSharper in .NET (and we all coded in .NET), then you'll probably stick to Eclipse. It's official Android IDE and you believe it's the best.
If you liked ReSharper and want to code faster, then you'll appreciate IDEA and will stick to it forever.

An IDE which supports Android development is Processing for Android: http://wiki.processing.org/w/Android. Processing is its own language but it's easy to learn. Processing for Android requires the JDK and Android SDK to be installed but runs on its own. It runs on Linux, Mac OSX and Windows (on a side note: one can develop a desktop app in Processing and then compile it to target any of these operating systems). Its development is ongoing but it works. It's especially good for quickly sketching up an idea and running it on your Android phone (even if you plan to develop it further in another IDE).
There is an active support forum here: http://forum.processing.org/android-processing.

One good system is Basic4Android - great for anyone familiar with Basic,
Includes a visual designer for screen layouts
Can connect to the emulators available as part of the Android SDK
Makes it relatively easy to develop programs.

Eclipse and Netbeans are both horrible slow, and I'ts a miracle that even the serious developers has been sticking with it for years, not even try to stick with a better product.
Java as platform is a shame when it comes to non-handheld platforms (win,mac,linux) and if anyone are going to develop on the platform I say do what else but do not use Java at all. For mobility it's probably has a kind of good luck here, as the systems are more down-scaled.
As far I know, there aren't any existing IDE for Java which aren't iself written in a Java environment. This is horrible because Java is messing up the desktop environment.
I'm willing to spend hours on google to find an Java IDE/Editor which are capable for android projects but will use a native environment for itself.

I Feel Eclipse IDE is more suitable for android applications rather than other IDEs.
Because its providing us more than five perspectives which will make our project flexible and ease.You may try Eclipse ides starts with 3.6 and above will provide you better performance.
Eclipse_jee_indigo
Eclipse_java_indigo
Eclipse_classic
The above eclipses are belongs to the version3.7.2 which are all latest and supports all kind of access.

I am a huge supporter of using the environment that is most familiar to you. However this isn't always the best option. In some cases, a different environment can result in (far?) greater efficency in the long run.
In this particular case I suspect that sticking with what you already know is a good option, but someone starting new would benifit from the easy setup and sdk/ndk integration offered by eclipse. I also don't know how available geolocation manipulation (or phone state manipulation - ie incoming call etc) is in other IDE's, but integration within eclipse feels seamless.
AIDE is a fun option that I use while traveling or when I don't feel like sitting at my desk all the time. It is an extrodinarly well put together IDE that runs on Android, compiles Android appications, and then lets you install, all without touching a computer. It includes a logcat readout, syntax highlighting and some git compatibility as well. Obviously you don't have a lot of screen real estate available and things can get cluttered or you can't see everything you want to at once, but for quick touchups or early in a project it is more than adequate.

Eclipse is the best IDE. It easy to setup android and debug applications in eclipse

Eclipse is the most widely used development environment for the Android platform. The reason is that even Google itself providing the plug-in to be added in eclipse and start developing the applications. I have tried installing it from the eclipse market place, it is very easy and simple to create the android application. set up also very simple.

You can also develop rich UI filled Android applications using Adobe AIR. If you plan to go that route then Flex Builder Burrito is the best IDE. Take a look at this post as to how easy it is to build an AIR4Android app http://blog.air4android.com/?p=13

I advise Android bundle for TextMate: https://github.com/nesterow/Android.tmbundle It's lightweight and easy to use. There is no intellisense, but actually it just makes you remember namespaces better. :)

For me the best is Motodev is a Eclipse plugin developed by Motorola.

you can use Juno, i just find it. it's fastest than Helios that i worked with that. you can try it.

Haskell interpreter on Android? [closed]

Is there a Haskell interpreter (with standard libraries) that can be installed on Android?
So that someone with an Android device can do some Haskell exercises on an Android device: write and run some example code in Haskell.

Hugs is written in C and quite portable. It should be possible to port it to Android.

Taking a note from imz, all you need is
ConnectBot or similar
A remote machine with
Vim, Emacs, or similar
runghc / ghci / hugs / yourfavoritehaskellinterpreterorcompiler
It's not as solid as a dedicated app or scripting layer would be, but honestly, for your use cases, it would provide almost exactly the same functionality as those options (if not more). And it would be just as "mobile" as a website (depends only on the uptime of the host and the connectivity of the client).

You can use tryhaskell.org from your mobile browser. It will accept any valid expression, but keep in mind that defining your own data types won't be possible.

For some negative information, all the work I've seen for GHC on Android (such as http://ipwnstudios.com/) is based on cross-compilation, rather than building GHC for android or ARM.

I just found IDEone in the Android Market, which sends your code to an online service. It works, but programming on Android isn't much fun. Btw: In case you don't want to register see BugMeNot

Surprisingly, I couldn't uncover any existing Haskell interpreter for Android.
But here are some instructions for writing your own interpreter for the Scripting Layer on Android. That's assuming you're willing to try mapping the haskell functions on top of the Java android ones (which is not a perfect solution, I know). You'll also want to refer to their scripting layer written for Scala, because that's the one that comes closest to Haskell (which is not very close I admit).
Otherwise, there shouldn't be any reason why any of those Haskell implementations couldn't be directly compiled for Android using the NDK. As long as they're written in C, they should work on Android. For C++, that's a little bit more tricky since Android doesn't have all the C++ headers.

Ruby practical for Android Development? [closed]

I am trying to break into a bit of development and have been advised Ruby is quite an easy / powerful language to get started on.
My main hope for learning a programming language was to break into mobile development. I have heard Ruby can be used for Android development with the right 'kit' but is this a practical language to use for this or will it end up being a more long winded approach than just learning Java from the get go?

I recently read about Ruboto. You should check it out too!

Maybe you should be looking at http://rhomobile.com/?

Almost all the documentation on android development is focused on Java, and eclipse. While I'm not a big fan of Eclipse as an IDE (bloat); it is what the lot use, so it is what I use.
Where you'll find hardship with ruby is when you have to do something that is atypical.. something that is purely android. It will save you time in the beginning, however as with all high level languages, it will end up costing you more when you need to get "dirty"... The net result will be the same.
I program ruby/rails during my day job and android for my "unpaid". Both are good languages, but there are strings attached with any language.
Keep in mind also that the Android platform is Java supported.. In this you know if there are new features in OS 5..6..n then you can be sure there is a way to access them in Java. Ruby might be quick to integrate them, but then it depends on the developers (us) of Ruby. Also keep in mind that on some older devices 1.x..2.x there may be things that run slow when passed through ruby. (I don't know how it's interpreter works)..
Last note. If you learn Ruby for android, and you apply for a job programming Android, I'm betting they will expect Eclipse/Java not xxx/Ruby

Not very sure of Ruby , but you can surely use JRuby http://code.google.com/p/jruby-for-android/

If your goal is to learn mobile development on Android, I would highly suggest sticking with Java. The Android SDK is Java based, and the majority of documentation and examples (including the official docs) you find will be in Java.
While Ruby is a powerful language, it is primarily used for web development. You may have a difficult time finding documentation, and support when you're not using standard Android language.

It appears that Google mainly supports using Java with Eclipse. While you probably could do it with Ruby, I think your best bet is to just use Java and Eclipse.

we made a quit big iOS application with 2000+ objective c classes. I am wondering there is a best practice guide to port it to Android ? Currently I am looking at Visual Paradigm (UML) which reverse engineers objective c files to UML. Like Enterprise Architect it also allows me to generate code(headers + declaration) for another popular language like java or c++. Are there any other approaches yet ? Also, as our app is heavily using the UINavigation and UIView controllers, I am wondering there is similar model and implementation on Android.
Thanks so far, guenter

In all honesty, I think that what you are planing is just going to make for crappy code that will be insanely hard to maintain. I realize it sounds like a lot of work, but its gonna be easier in the long run, I would just "port" the concept of the app to android and write it from the ground up.

The Apportable SDK
It cross-compiles Objective-C applications to Android, without extensive changes to the original codebase. Instead of translating the code to Java, Apportable cross-compiles your code to run directly on the Android device’s processor, bypassing the Java runtime, resulting in speed and performance that rivals the iOS version.
The platform has been tested on Apportable’s library of over 150 devices and in the wild, where Apportable-powered apps have received 5-star reviews on thousands of devices.
check out the sdk here

AFAIK there is no automatic tool to convert Objective-C to Java. There is java2objc that does the reverse.
Here are some official tips for porting Objective-C to Java: http://www.nextcomputers.org/NeXTfiles/Software/WebObjects/Guides/PortingObjectiveCtoJava.pdf
I'm not an iOS expert, but AFAIK iOS does not have layout managers - it uses XIB/NIB to do layout (or dynamically in code, which is not recommended). On Android there are layout classes which are primarily used to support different resolutions. Also, layout is declared via XML files.
So it seems there is a lot of hand-coding in front of you. Since a project is quite large, I'd get a help of an expert that knows both Android and iPhone.

For going from C or C++ to Android you are probably best of using the NDK. The problem is that I don't think this is possible (at least, not directly?) for Objective C.
I think it might be best to try and go to C, and then use the NDK to make it into an app for Android. Going from your code, trough UML to JAVA sounds like a much harder option.

just to let you know how the story did end up, I kept using Sparx Enterprise Architect and have my design, architecture and documentation well under control, for all platforms finally except for JavaScript. Its a bit tedious when integrating new features but in an enterprise environment it saved me a lot of time. We are working on iOS, Desktop(Web2.0/HTML5), Android, Blackberry, Symbian and some router systems. To get rid of platform specific things, I introduced always an additional layer. Seems to work for our products so far.
Thanks to all again, g.

MyAppConverter service helps to convert native iOS mobile apps instantly to native Android app, it's not focused mainly on the look and feel, and UI interaction of your app. That means it don't replicate your application as it is. Instead, MyAppConverter make all changes to make a project suitable for the development of an Android application.
MyAppConverter currently support only iOS to Android conversion and objective-c to swift.

Develop Reference

The Android operating system is a mobile operating system that was developed by Google (GOOGL?) to be primarily used for touchscreen devices, cell phones, and tablets.
