9 Programming Environments To Develop Android Without Java Apps
|
Droidever - As we all know Android is the operating system that occupies most of the mobile apps market. As Android developer the most logical thing is therefore that you master the Java language to perfection. However, the high competitiveness of existing today requires us to learn different programming languages, not only for a single operating system, if not that is valued much more to develop apps on Android and iOS.
In this situation we find that more than one million apps downloaded to Android. Then, how can we develop apps on Android without using Java and Android Studio? Our goal when writing this article always is to lend you a hand to get to develop apps on Android. In this case without resorting to environment and native tools.
Always remember that Google has put at your disposal Java to develop apps on Android, native and unique applications. And to encourage you to this renewed not long ago its support to developers page: developer.android.com. In it you can find all the necessary information about developing apps on Android: videos, forums, tutorials and all kinds of materials.
But the truth is that start in the world of apps on Android development always can be difficult if we have just started and are not especially familiar with native languages. Or if you're not a programmer, with basic notions could even develop apps on Android, but not as outstanding as the most professional results.
Environments to develop Android apps
1. Ruboto
If these familiar with Ruby or JRuby, Ruboto a good option to apply all that knowledge and use them to program in Android and create an app for devices that run with that operating system. Although it is not as big as Appcelerator Titanium, it has a good amount of programmers and also there is enough documentation to begin programming. You can currently download the console and scripts that allow you to start developing apps.
2. Adobe Air
First of all, we can say that Adobe Air is an application with which you create desktop programs from web pages, such as HTML, Javascript, or Flash development technologies. Itself is not an application for programming on Android, but if that there is the possibility of use with is purpose. Process in this case is to create non-native code of Android-based applications running on Android, which otherwise we would not have our device. Also with good results.
3. Basic 4 Android
The Basic4Android platform is one of the great enemy of Android Studio, programming with Visual Basic language, also rival of Java since its inception. In this sense, Basic4Android is specially indicated for that Android developers, we started to develop apps on Android. We find the explanation that it is a more graphic and less abstract, environment so that we can see the progress as we program.
4. Mono for Android
Although Java is the native language of Android, the great reputation of this operating system has achieved that tools got for programming apps on Android learning other programming languages. The languages that Microsoft to develop apps C# and .NET have come also to Android. If you want to use this language probably already use Visual Basic, therefore is you only download the Mono for Android SDK and you can directly develop apps on Android from your Microsoft environment.
5. LiveCode
Imagine a platform that you can develop apps on Android, but also on iOS, Linux, Windows, in addition to program websites and servers from a same tool, from LiveCode. If we put as an example that one application that we have decided to develop on Android, but now want to take it to Windows and iOS to cover more market. It is logical to think that you should hire a developer for Windows and one for iOS. But even if that s the most recommended, the truth is that if you have some knowledge of LiveCode tool, in addition to programming on Android you can do it for those other platforms.
6. Appcelerator Titanium
Introducing one of the platforms to develop more active apps of the moment. With more than a million and a half of active users and more than 20,000 applications developed. If what you want on set on Android are in the right place, there is a lot on this tool with which you can easily learn and start developing mobile applications. Quality reference you can say that large firms such as eBay or PayPal digital developed its mobile applications from Appcelerator Titanium.
7. App Inventor
And if you don't have a technical backgroud? NOT know or C#, or. NET or Java and not hear about Visual Basic? Since then we have to remind you of App Inventor, a tool that you have already spoken on our blog. This is a platform developed by Google Labs so that more people join to program apps on Android. It is a completely visual environment that do not need or writing a single line of code to develop apps on Android. One of the major drawbacks is also its strength, simplicity and speed when creating apps for Android. It is completely free, only need to download App Inventor website and begin creating apps.
8. InDesign CS6
If we talk about converting publications in downloadable apps, In Design CS6 is your ideal program. From books, magazines newspapers and catalogs. It is particularly suitable for those publications that want to transform into apps, but personally don't have time or desire to learn to program. With this CSE you get to create apps on Android based on the content you've already created. You only have to follow these steps:
9. HTML5
Ideal for those who have programmed web pages previously in HTML, we can know results we have ability to get programming apps on Android. With HTML5 we go further, this language is a huge development especially when it comes to web applications. The good thing about this programming language is that it has great versatility and that its content is adapted to many platforms. I.e., it is ideal for the development of cross-platform apps. Also to develop apps on Android. The great advantage to be able to perform updates instantly.
In this situation we find that more than one million apps downloaded to Android. Then, how can we develop apps on Android without using Java and Android Studio?
