Personally I prefer NetBeans over Eclipse, but that's just a style thing. Fundamentally I have no problem with Ecliplse, and even though I prefer NB I would rather see them improve what they have instead of making multiple plugins for different environments. -- You received this message because y

Dear Bill, There is another way without using Eclipse of the Android SDK!!! Have a look at our MobiForms rapid application development tool. MobiForms is the world's first rapid application development tool designed for Google Android smartphones. Additionally MobiForms apps will run on other pla

If you're good with emacs, I would suggest using it for android development. I used eclipse for a bit and couldn't stand it.. it slowed me down enormously, and it hides a lot of lower level stuff that I think is very useful to know if you're serious about developing. You have to customize emacs a b

I use Eclipse daily, both professionally and personally. It's a fine tool. If you don't like the logcat in Eclipse (I don't), run `adb logcat` from a terminal. Run `adb logcat | grep 'yourtag'` if you want just your apps' messages. The emulator is just fine. It can take a while to launch, but

I don't think there is anything wrong with eclipse. You use what you have. You do have the option to contribute. Besides xcode and eclipse are practically punch cards when compared to visual studio ease of use and tool integration. Again you use what you can, you can't compare apples to oran

Sad to say, what you have is "state of the art". Eclipse is used for many development environments (especially the free ones). The only other free development workbench I know of offhand is Qt Creator. And the emulator is better than a couple of others I've seen. Could they be better? Of cours

I think they're fine. I've used Eclipse plenty of times in the past and while it's not my IDE of choice on other development platforms, it's not a bad IDE by any means. I've grown to appreciate the Android emulator as well. The one area I think Android tools are lacking is in the UI design space

Eclipse has no problem installing over a running app with the same name. I do it many times a day. The logcat issue exists but is not the fault of Eclipse but rather Google's plugin. But I agree, it is an annoyance. You can refresh the logcat file most of the time, btw, by going to the DDMS per
