Android development on a tablet: will Eclipse work on a Windows tablet?

Question

Will the Eclipse and Android SDK work on a Windows tablet? Or is there any other device as a portable tablet on which it can work (for example, sony vaio p and sony vaio ux)?

Answer 1

AIDE allows you to develop Android on Android. It works well on most Android tablets.

Eclipse wont works on Windows RT before porting it, but Windows 8 on tablets easily launches eclipse (and everything that works on Windows 7). Thus, you can either go the way of Android, or wait until the surface is running Windows 8.

Answer 2

Yes, but it depends on the tablet ... Main features

Toshiba WT200 Windows Tablet 10.1" LED-backlit capactive multi-touch display 1366 x 768 Screen resolution Intel Atom N2600 1.6GHz processor 2GB DDR3 Memory 64GB Solid State Drive 3G and WiFi connectivity Windows 7 Professional 32bit 

Answer 3

Windows RT will be able to run applications available through the Windows Store, the question is, will the Eclipse team create a version for it?

Material from Wikipedia

Only software written using Windows Runtime (Metro style applications) can be used in Windows RT, with the exception of Microsoft Office 2013 and the desktop version of Internet Explorer 10. Developers will not be able to create applications for working in Windows RT using the Win32 API

Windows 8 Pro, which runs on an Intel processor architecture (Ivy-Bridge), must run Eclipse and is fully backward compatible with other Windows applications.

Answer 4

Perhaps new Intel-based tablets (window 8) will launch eclipse or I will get an UltraBook!
