Let’s take a look at the interface, which (though it’s full of IDE functions) is rather ascetic. Anyway, some desktop IDEs also do the same thing. Perhaps it’s useful for newcomers, but for netheads such kind of care seems irritating. When creating a new project, a source “Hello, World!” is generated automatically. Hybrid App - a mixture of PhoneGap and Java-code.
PhoneGap App - use of HTML5-framework PhoneGap (for which it’s necessary to install one more IDE, but we are not going to do that the article is not about HTML5).Java Application - console Java application.Mobile Game - games development through libGDX.Android app - development through Android SDK.Right, it’s rather similar to what you see on the “desktop” IDE. Then you’ll see “Create new project…” window. At the first start, you’ll be asked which action would you like to take - to study Java, to analyze Android apps / games development, or to start coding immediately? To make it simpler, let’s assume that you choose the latter. Let’s try, as far as feasible, to analyze how trustworthy they are. UI designer with drag and drop support (through paid App UI Designer) īut these are, let’s say, program statements.And vice versa - Eclipse projects can be opened in AIDE the projects are saved in Eclipse format, which enables to open them on PC.
These are the abbreviations which unwrap in code line at the press of certain keys (or keys combination). First of all - at least minimal syntax highlighting support.The question is - do they correspond to the proud name of IDE? What is essential for convenient code writing, besides compiler and word processor? The environments for Android development exist, and there are many of them. But due to some peculiarities of modern gadgets, it’s rather hard to do this sacred work on them. Nowadays, top Android devices have the same capacity as the five-seven year-old laptops, which were quite suitable for code writing.
