Android App lets you develop applications for Android

To create Android applications you need a Java development environment, which is the language in which applications are made, and the development kit platform. As there are several environments available and the SDK is multiplatform, you can develop on Windows, Mac OS and Linux. An application released today further extends the possibilities of the platform by allowing developers to create applications, you see, straight from Android.

This is the AIDE, which means Android Java IDE (Integrated Development Environment). It contains all the elements and basic libraries for creating Android applications, and also has code completion, error checking in real time, formatting and also compilation and execution of APKs. And all this without even requiring that the device is rooteado.

The application is free and available in the Android Market now. He may not have enough clout to more complex applications which require import of external libraries, but is available for tablets and smartphones running Android 2.2 at least.
