    The next step is to create a puppet account from which to post all your development questions in QA.

      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?

      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.

          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.

          Dot42[^] is another option for using c# to write Android apps.

                    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[^]

                                    For me, it always comes down to what kind of support resources are available and how deep they are (i.e. how esoteric of a question can I find an answer for). That almost always leads me to the language and IDE environment recommended by the creators, because it usually has the largest user base. In this case, Eclipse and Java. Besides, its really all about the libraries, and you'll likely be learning them no matter what language and IDE you choose. So that's what I'd recommend, even for an old, grey haired accountant who knows some Java :)

                                    We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

                                          On the tablet itself you can develop with AIDE, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aide.ui&hl=en[^] Not knowing how to program in Java at all, I did some googling and nosed around the files crated by the hello world project and was able to make the tablet vibrate after a short bit. It also hooks into dropbox.
