Hi,

I'm using Xcode for a while, and I'd like to start developing Android Applications. However, the SDK is for Eclipse. I personally don't like Eclipse, because of the UI and it starts to suck on my iMac. I was wondering if it is possible to create Android Applications with the Xcode Tools so I can stay with my old friend Xcode (and maybe even Interface Builder (very unlikely) ö). Can anyone tell me? Thanks.

If Xcode supports Java development you can use Xcode to write your source code. But you then need a terminal to create, build and start your program on the android emulator, you can do all this via ant scripts.

You certainly won't be able to build Android GUIs with the Interface builder because you get only Iphone/mac specific GUIs out of that tool.

I have found something about this but not yet tried this.
