I meant there's no standard toolchain. Specifically there's no straightforward way to develop a vanilla Android app in Android. It's not self-hosting in the same way that "real" platforms are; until that is fixed, porting development tools in isolation isn't going to amount to much more than an amusing curiosity.

How is what you want different from what AIDE offers?

With AIDE, you develop an Android app more or less like you would in Eclipse, and it compiles it and installs it into the system like any other Android app. It's in your application list, and you can run it like any other Android app.


How many different ways do you need to be told what to use to develop Android apps on Android? AIDE and TerminalIDE can be used to develop Android apps from start to finish including signing and the whole ball of wax. You can even open up your Eclipse projects and just pick up from where you left off.
