How to run Java code on Android device without uploading apk

Is there an easy way to run Java code on an Android device without actually delivering an apk? I'd like to test out function calls without building an entire project.

For instance, it would be cool to run calls like Camera.open(1) and see what the device responds with. It takes forever to rebuild an entire project and redeploy it for minor changes. The only option I can come up with is having some sort of text field that takes user input, executes commands (Compiler API?) and displays the result. Is there a better way?

There is the Android Scripting Layer

There is Dev Apps Direct for looking and loading sample open source libraries.

There is API Demos which is just the official samples from the android sdk that a third party published on Google Play
