What software for a simple application on Android is the most convenient for a beginner?

Question

Java

In general, the idea came. The idea is extremely easy to implement (as it seems to me, for any ordinary programmer, but not for me, as it turned out :)) of a game, but difficult in its task (the process itself), a la Flappy Bird, but fundamentally different from it. And so I began to polish the pages, simultaneously studying Java and software (eclipse in particular). Certainly on some pages there were beliefs, they say, "those who know html, css, javascript can easily figure out what's what" (although I know these languages, but, apparently, not one of those people, because the constant hassle arose with eclipse' om, and somehow delved into the essence). As a result: eternal problems with the emulator (it takes a long time to start, sorry, but I don’t have my own android device), constant quarrels and resentments with eclipse (it also crashes when I drive in the id of an element) and a bunch of other disagreements ... Actually, the question itself:what is the best and easiest way to use for a beginner when developing an application on android?

Answer 1

If you want a simple environment, then try Unity3D: it now has the ability to create 2D games. True, you have to learn C # a little. True, I don’t know if it’s possible to build for Android in the free edition, but it’s definitely possible in the paid edition. And this is perhaps the easiest option. The rest require programming.

Answer 2

IDEA, buy a smartphone.

Answer 3

Virtualized machine, Eclipse, standard emulator, HAXM included

Answer 4

If eclipse does not see the running emulator, you can reset adb.
DDMC - Devices tab - Reset adb (if not on the panel, you need to press the down arrow)
