Android Tablet Programming

So I've never owned an Android device and never used Linux stuff at all.
I'm very proficient with C++/Java and somewhat proficient with C#, Python and Objective-C. All done on Windows or Mac.

From googling briefly I've heard Android incorporates their own version of Java which is close enough to Oracle's stuff that their were a bunch of patent lawsuits.

I'd appreciate any advice from anyone who already has experience with Android programming, especially if you were able to do it without learning a mountain of Linux stuff.

Favorite IDEs or tools for making code for an android also welcome!

Java is shit, Android is shit and most IDEs are bloated shit.

But you're welcome to use Eclipse and that Android SDK plugin. You could also abandon ENTERPRISEland and join us at the Yearly Satori Convention here in Lispland.

By the way, drop the tripcode, you look gay when you use one.
You heard me, Cudder.

I think you mean it runs in their own VM, called Dalvik. The bytecode it produces is different but the language is the same.

Yearly Satori Convention here in Lispland.
You mean the annual gay /prog/rider meetup in Akihabara?

Yes. But straight people show up too.

Then we go to Comiket and masturbate to girls shooting magical bullets together.

Hey, fuck you man. Mobile shit is a great path to a meager income that will stave off starvation and make money to spend at the disco. If >>1-tan wants to make apps, let him.
