I can't speak for vim, but since that doesn't really matter, I most certainly do most of my work in emacs. This is mostly for systems level things, however.
As for working on Android apps proper, developing in emacs/vim with the standard Android build tools (ala ant) is very doable sans GUI layouts: being able to graphically layout components is very nice, and useful for more rapid prototyping. If you don't need to mess around with building GUIs then you can use 'android project update,' etc... kris On Sun, Dec 2, 2012 at 2:51 PM, Russell Wheeler <[email protected]> wrote: > So far I have been developing directly on my galaxy nexus and nexus 7 using > the amazing AID app. > > However, as the N7 can't provide logs due to it being jelly bean, i feel the > need to get a mini notebook in order to utilise adb logcat. > > My main worry is that something with only 1gb (2gb if i upgrade, which i > will) and a 1.5-1.83GHz atom CPU won't be powerful enough. > > I can possibly get around certain worries by not using emulators and testing > directly on my two devices, so that will save me a great deal.
