UFCFX5-15-3Mobile Device Development Summary Eclipse is the integrated development environment for Android app development. It allows apps directly deploying onto the android device via the ADT plugin. It also allows developer debugging the android codes in the real device. Using Android emulator/android virtual device is another way to test the android app. Official android SDK has a lot of resources and tools to help develop, test and publish the android app. Visual Studio is the integrated development environment for both Windows Phone app and Windows Store app development. C # can be used for both phone and Windows tablet app development.
