Can I use eclipse with java to create an Android app? One programmer said yes, but a programmer at IBM said no. I'm tring to put app on the android market.

Is it possible to just use the Eclipse IDE to create an android app or do I need to use a different IDE?

    While I see that the question is answered, a simple search of "android eclipse" told me everything I needed to know :>. Commented Oct 20, 2011 at 2:42

  • It's ok - comment wasn't meant to be harsh. I will say this - Google search has taught me as much if not more than all my years of college :). Most of my Android skills were learned from Google (and some books / open source apps). Happy Googling! Commented Oct 20, 2011 at 3:11

Yes, you can create Android apps using Eclipse. You'll have to install the Android SDK and ADT before you get started. Here are some guides to get you started:

The MoSync IDE is based on Eclipse and is conveniently cross-platform. You might consider that.

However, there's a how-to for Android apps in Eclipse located at the Android Developer site.

While Eclipse is the most popular for developing Android applications, you can use other IDEs such as Netbeans and IntelliJ IDEA..

You can find more info at

http://www.nbandroid.org/ for Netbeans

http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/features/google_android.html for IntelliJ IDEA

Personally I prefer Eclipse, but if you are uncomfortable using Eclipse you can use those IDEs.
