Hello,
What is the best/most popular IDE for developing Android Java apps under Windows?
Thanks,
Larry
Eclipse :thumbup:
and Android studio
Android Studio. It already officially replaced Eclipse, so you should use it, and not Eclipse.

For the one gazillionth time !! Please use google search!!! There are more than a million guides out there explaining how to use IDE's to develope android apps using ADT plugin! Go to developer.android.com they have a very clearly documented procedure how to learn to develope android apps . As far as I know you can't use visual basic, you should use JDK because android apps are written in pure java api's and converted into dalvik executable using Google's dx tool and the process is automated via Google's ADT plugin in IDE's.

Hello, my name is Luca from Itali.
After 3 year I returned to develop on Android and now I have to decide which environment to use.
I'm excited to use Android Studio, but the problem is that I learn on the Commonsware book, where all examples are implemented with Eclipse.
Someone is working on Android Studio?
Do you know if is possible too run Eclipse and Android Studio at the same time (problem with abd, etc?)
Thanks, luca!

You can totally run eclipse and Android Studio together. I do.
BTW it's ADB (not abd), and that has no issues with either eclipse or Android Studio.
As an aside, how is it to learn from CommonsWare book?
How to learn Android Development?
I want to be an android developer, Which is the best way to learn Android Development and how long would it take?
You can download Eclipse and the Android SDK at the same time and all set up, using the ADT bundle thing on the homepage. You can also do this separately as well. All instructions are on the Android SDK pages. Android is a Java framework, a collection of libraries that are made in Java that the Android devices are capable of. So you use the Android SDK to program Java for Androids, if that makes sense. Java is still Java and you will have to learn it. You can jump into Android development and learn Java that way, but it might be a hindrance.
Java fundamentals
You can start by learning the Java fundamentals
This is where I started:

Good luck :good:
I'm taking an online course on writing Android apps and the instructor uses Eclipse with jre 6.
But the urls he sends us to downloads and installs jre 7.5 and Studio. The Studio interface is very different so for a novice like me it is very confusing.
Is Eclipse and jre 6 still available for download? Where?
Thank you.

Hi there,
Short answer:
I believe you could use either.
Longer answer:
As your instructor uses Eclipse - use Eclipse too. This way you will follow the course flawlessly. Eclipse is an open source project, well supported with huge community behind. You can download it from eclipse.org/downloads
Which version? I'd say the basic one is enough, e.g. Eclipse IDE for Java Developers, you'll need to install ADT (Android Dev. Tools) plugins, but I presume the instructor in the course made a topic on that. More discussion on that here: stackoverflow.com/questions/16657729/what-version-of-eclipse-do-i-use-for-android
As for JRE...
JRE (Java Runtime Environment) is required to run java programs on a machine. If you're developing programs, you'll need JDK - Java Development Kit. They're updated the same way any other programs are, hence you'll see different version numbers. Find them here: oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
Good luck!
ps.
I'm not an Android developer, but did some java programming.
Would it be possible to root without pc? Nay help would be greatly appreciated!
You need a second device capable of running the android tools:
Download Android Studio & App Tools - Android Developers
Android Studio provides app builders with an integrated development environment (IDE) optimized for Android apps. Download Android Studio today.
developer.android.com
So no PC per se, if you consider Mac and Chromebook options. I'm running [them] just fine on Linux x64 on PC hardware.
