Is there a good IDE for writing Android Apps that can be used by the likes of a old, grey haired accountant who is not brilliant with Java?

You could always use Mono in Visual Studio. Failing that, you could use something like Phonegap in Visual Studio. I've been meaning to get around to evaluating Appcelerator Titanium. Looking into it superficially, there are certain advantages to it as it compiles down to native code, but it's a closed SDK so you couldn't use it with things like jQuery.
I was brought up to respect my elders. I don't respect many people nowadays.

Eclipse or IntelliJ Idea if you want Java, else Xamarin :cool: if you prefer C# and Visual Studio. But Xamarin will set you back at least $400. /ravi

I use Eclipse with Android plugins and whatnot. Not to hard to get set up and rolling with it.
Treat stressful situations like a dog, if you can't eat it, play with it or screw it, then just piss on it and walk away. Be careful which toes you step on today, they might be connected to the foot that kicks your butt tomorrow.

I've always liked using Eclipse for Java. It's not very hard to get the Android SDK up and running in it either. Simples.[^] :thumbsup:

Yes. Even I have ADT/Eclipse up and running and I'm completely Java disabled. The lack of Android support or plugins so far for Netbeans is a little annoying, perhaps whoever gets up and running first gets the developer interest.

The next step is to create a puppet account from which to post all your development questions in QA.
This is the puppet account. He really is a 25 year old female model. :-D

The Code Project forums. Simply post in txt spk what you want to do and you'll get code out. Remember that typing "urgentzz" is the equivalent to F6/Ctrl+Shift+B in Visual Studio.

At least submits this guy his code. Still bad behavior but better than them who are only writing an exception message and post it. IDK but suppose that there are not enough hamsters to answer questions like "AccessDeniedException comes up when trying to delete system32 HELP URGENZZ Teacher will kill me!!!!!!!!!!!!!".

Oh yes there are plenty worse. It was this guys request for a test case for his 'cod' that ammused me, hence the 'fish & chips' response. I just couldn't resist. :laugh:

As others have suggested I use Eclipse with the ADT plugin. I installed everything on a new machine this week and noticed that google now have an all in one package - Eclipse, ADT, latest android SDK - just extract from the archive and you're good to go. Beats having to set it all up manually :) http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html[^]
