I am using Java Eclipse IDE for programming Android application. Recently Google changed requirements for publishing new apk's: it must have targetSdkVersion>=31.
I tried to sign apk inside Eclipse with targetSdkVersion=31 - but now Android says .apk format is corrupted.
I undestand that this way of programming for Android is obsolete, but I really don't like Android Studio.
My question is for guys who may still programming for Android under Eclipse: is there are a way to sign .APK inside Eclipse with targetSdkVersion>31?
Thanks.
I'm having an issue starting my android development as I've tried multiple solutions off this site for getting past eclipse not building blank activities and its not letting me begin my development and I have also tried updating and downloading the SDK but all my attempts have all deemed unsuccessful, could this be because I'm using eclipse mars.
My recommendation would be to start using intelliJ IDEA. Just becouse you can do almost everything inside that one program and it seems to be faster than android studio for me.
Here is the download link: https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/

I want to make my first android application and i'm new to Android world, i have seen so many tutorials and videos about android development, some say Android Studio is better and some say Eclipse is the core that all android apps is built with.
I'm confused here, which one should i work on in my android development learning and first app ?
Note I already followed a tutorial that uses Eclipse so i know something about Eclipse, and i have no idea what Android Studio is like.
Thanks in advance.
Android Studio is now the official IDE according to the docs:
https://developer.android.com/tools/help/adt.html
In the long run you will probably get better support, official and community, for it.
Nothing more , nothing less
Android Studio is the official IDE for Android application development, based on IntelliJ IDEA.
Download Android Studio and give it a try. I promise you that you will not ever be programming Android apps in Eclipse.
Eclipse vs Android Studio
Google released Android Studio for android development and stop developing android plugin for eclipse. In this document developers will put their opinion about why we should use Eclipse/Android Studio. If Android Studio provide us better support for development, then we will switch to Android Studio after 2.1 release.
Why Android Studio:
Android Studio is now the official IDE for Android. [ ref. https://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/migrate.html ]
Projects are much easier to main.
Eclipse is OK when you are developing smaller applications, but when your application has 10 projects and 20 external libraries, that's when the fun begins – refresh project, clean project, restart Eclipse, and then all over again. But, in android studio all you need is press “sync” button, you never had to worry about adding jars after jars in your libs folder.
Oh! wait did I forgot to mention how you maintain different version of those jars in eclipse ?
Android studio use Gradle based build system. [ ref. http://gradle.org/ ]
NDK Support now available, and with gradle it’s much more easier now to compile, build, link your shared object files [.so] in your project.
Android Studio comes complete with support for JUnit unit and Android tests.
All the jetbrain keyboard shortcuts are available in android studio, and you can modify them according to your need.
[ref. https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/help/keyboard-shortcuts-and-mouse-reference.html ,
What are the most useful Intellij IDEA keyboard shortcuts? ]
I used both.You had better use android studio.It is definitely better than eclipse.
I started with Eclipse and moved onto Android Studio. In my opinion Android Studio is way better than Eclipse! Also Android Studio is activly being developed and with the gradel build system its super easy to use lib from maven central. I will suggest Studio will be the way to go.
Well personally i prefer the official Android IDE which is Android Studio off-course for those reasons:
It's made by jetBrains and Google (you know, the developer of android).
It's very intelligent, it's like you're working with a bot.
Google has full documentations and examples on how to use literally anything in Android Studio.
I don't know if you're still looking for reason number 4 by far :) .
Final Words Use Android Studio
Android Studio is often preferred for a number of reasons, many of which have been given here. However, the biggest reason is this:
It's not Eclipse.
I have Android Developer Tool Build: v22.3.0-887826 This product includes Eclipse Platform, JDT, CDT, EMF, GEF and WTP and I want to program HTML5 to create Android application on this version of eclipse , is that possible? , I mean to run HTML5 on ECLIPSE?
You can't (and don't) run HTML5 on Eclipse.
It is possible to create android application with HTML5 though. There are several ways of doing it. You can find literally TONS of information by searching google for html5 android app development - you'll find everything you need. Spend some time researching this - and you'll get to the answer.
One of the most common frameworks is Sencha Touch - again, spend some time researching - you'll get to the answer.
