Has anyone tried to develop an android app on windows 7? It says that it isn't a supported OS, but sometimes that doesn't stop people from trying to develop on it anyways.

I develop on Windows 7 64bit, using a 32bit Eclipse and 32bit Java. Everything works fine.

Everything works fine, including USB debugging. I'm using Win7 64bit, and 32bit Eclipse/Java. I've used the device emulator, and also ran/debugged code on a Motorola Droid.

Also developing on Win7 64bit with 32bit Java and 32 bit Eclipse. No issues.

I also develop in Win7, 64-bit. Biggest issue in setup was making sure that you got the 32bit installers for Java, Eclipse, Android, etc. At first I had 64-bit Java and 32-bit eclipse, which was like Cats and Dogs.

Same setup as everybody else...64bit win7, 32-bit java/eclipse, and it works without any headaches at all.

I have Win7 Ult 64bit, and Eclipse 32bit no current problems.

Initially, I did run into a little problem, but resolved it by installing x64 Java.
