Android development on tablet: Will Eclipse run on windows tablet?

Question

Will Eclipse and android SDK run on windows tablet?or is there any other device as portable as a tablet that it can run on(like sony vaio p and sony vaio ux)?

Solution 1

AIDE lets you develop for Android, on Android. It runs well on most Android Tablets.

Eclipse wont run on Windows RT till it is ported, but Windows 8 on Tablets can run eclipse (and anything that runs on Windows 7) easily. So you could either go the Android way, or wait for the Surface running Windows 8.

Solution 2

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

From Wikipedia

Only software written using the Windows Runtime (Metro style apps) can be used on 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 to run on Windows RT using the Win32 APIs

Windows 8 Pro which runs on the Intel based CPU architecture (Ivy-Bridge) should run Eclipse and be fully backward compatible with other Windows apps.
