Android Game Framework

I'm a Flash developer looking to get into Android/iPhone game development. Android is more important to me, because I don't have any iOS device to test on, and I don't really like apple either :P (could you blame a flash developer for that?)

What is a good game framework for developing android games? Multi-platform is always a huge bonus but not everything for me.

I've been looking at Rokon and it seems ok, but the tutorials/examples are a little sketchy.

+1  A: 

This question on GameDev may provide some insight. :)

If you're familiar with Flash, you might want to look into Adobe AIR for Android.

I was using the Beta for some time before it was released but I don't feel that it is a viable alternative just yet. The % of users that have android 2.2 is pretty small at the moment and many people would simply run away from the app once they find they have to have the 17mb AIR for Android file. This is unfortunate but I feel it is the truth

You should also give AndEngine a shot.

For my next 2d game I was thinking of using AndEngine as well. They have a sample program on the Android Market so you can check out its capabilites on a phone. Looks pretty good.

Looked into AndEngine, seems like most straight forward platform. Thanks :)
