Not unless someone ports it for Android. Keep in mind, Android is **NOT** Linux. It only uses it's kernal

What it *****x written in, mostly C? The android app framework uses java, it would take a complete rewrite. Can't really be called a port.

Oh nothing to be sorry about, you show that you have a better grasp of the architecture of Android OS than 90% here by distinguishing between an OS and a Kernel.
so its using the linux kernel just not linux? lol

Common misconception. There is no "linux" out side of the Linux kernel. The most basic form of OS that runs ontop of the Linux kernel is all of the GNU software. That you would call GNU/Linux OS if you wanted too.
Of course the major distributions kind of perpetuate the misconception... meh.

You have to have your own shell. You can purchase them for a few $ a month.

Yeah, but the way he said it sounded wrong. The Android kernel is programmed in c,c++ and is a Linux based os. You can program apps for Android in most languages now: c++, c, and ruby just to name a few. Most choose java since google has pushed it enough and made it simple.

The app itself is written in java. And, there is some XML.
Check out eclipse.

This. Java is certainly the most widely-used and most supported by Google, but more and more compilers and VMs are emerging. For example, the MonoDroid project is working on a Mono VM for apps written in C#.
PHP is also on the rise

Linux isn't a language. The user is asking for programming languages.
Pretty sure you can also code apps in C using the NDK. Or maybe that's just OS code, can't remember. Either way it runs extraordinarily faster than Java obviously.
EDIT: Just read up on it and apparently you can only embed C in apps using the NDK in conjunction with the SDK
I think I am going to jump in. I am a software/web developer and I have the Android SDK, Eclipse, Visual Studio 2008 and a number of other tools on my dev box. I love coding in C# but I can do Java and some other stuff too. What is a good way to get my feet wet....aka "Hello World" ?

That's pretty much it. You won't enjoy anything remotely on the level of what you're used to out of something like Visual Studio, but once you figure out Eclipse (and that can take awhile, it's probably one of the more inscrutable modern-style IDEs I've ever used, and I've been doing this for 30 years; and I'm sure I'll get flamed for that)... but once you see the world through Eclipse's eyes, it's about like writing any other app.
I've gotten into Android dev and back out again several times. Usually I get tired of Google's rather sub-par developer support and go back to some type of paying project.
But for some reason, there is a certain kick to seeing your app run on a phone the first few times.

Yeah you can either use the Virtual Android Device to test your app OR use your phone and you the ADT plugin will install the app onto your device. The emulator takes a long time to start up. Whenever I'm bored and want to write a app for fun, I tend to use my old device (G1) as a debugging device because I can't stand how long emulator takes to stat up.
Thanks guys. I have my first little app up and running in the VAD emulator.
I found out that you need Eclipse 3.5 (not 3.6) and the JRE 1.6 for everything to be happy. Now where to go from here....
This is turning into a nice little getting started thread. I hope people who have other suggestions for noob developers will continue to post.

Hi
i need to run some JAVA APPLICATION on Acer Iconia A500, but i can't find JVM for my tablet.
Any ideas?
thank you
Sorry No Support for Java Virtual Machine yet so Java Applets will not run on the tablets for android. be nice if we can get java support for android sometime soon.
I read something the other day that I thought was pretty interesting...RIM and Google claim that they have the full web with Flash, but if you think about it, Java is all over the web and without Java support, that's not the full web at all.

I'm aware of that. All I'm saying is if you're a Toyota dealer and you don't have any Camry's on the lot, don't claim that you have every Toyota car in stock.
Technically, it does have full html not web. Java applets and support are an add-on. Android is coded different it was built for phones. This move to tablets is a big move not just adding a bigger screen and better video support. Java support will come once it is profitable for Android/Google.
rorytmeadows is right, certain things just don't work, but thats apple and oranges.
Windows can do somethings that others can't due to its popularity,
Linux can do things that can't be done by others due to superiority.
Mac can do nothing due to the lack of real users just people who like fruit.

Because of the many advantages of ARM chipsets? More efficient power consumption, less heat dissipation, etc.
You could get a net book with a decent battery, an extra gig of ram and whack ubuntu on that.
The more recent atom chips or even amd's are great for that sort of thing.
Could always put a small ssd in it too.
What sort of battery life do you expect from a TF101 with ubuntu?
Asus has promised to release a tool to unlock the Transformer bootloader (at the price of voiding your warranty). When (if?) they release it, you should be able to install Ubuntu on the newer Transformers.

Some b70's can some b70's can't so it is generally said that b70's are incompatible just so that people with b70 sbk2's dont complain about things saying that something is compatable with b70 and lower

Yes, but there are also Linux-based firmwares, which are meant for developing IoT.

Actually, if it has only command line and Win32 support, it would be several times better than MetroGUI and no command line
Microsoft made a blogpost a week ago: https://blogs.windows.com/bloggingwindows/2015/03/18/developing-for-the-windows-10-device-platform/
Now we can download the preview on Microsoft website.
But you can install it on RPi only with Windows 10.
Wouldn't it be nice if we could get a full running Windows on RPi?
