Is developing for Android the same regardless of the device manufacturer for non-lower level programs?

If I have a Samsung, Kindle, or a Goldengulf tablet, is it the same programming paradigm? Do I need something special for one device maker than another - in general? If this is too general, please consider this question,

Can I use Eclipse or other IDE for Android development with the same configuration for Goldengulf (a random Android tablet I saw for low price) and Samsung. I use the Goldengulf as an example because it is very cheaply priced and the Samsung is on the higher end.

This is for in-house applications, if that matters, no app store. No device drivers will written, this is a "standard" application.

Yes. The whole concept for developers is to abstract the hardware itself.

The class definitions, the machine itself and all other details should not be altered by the developer a common.

If what you need can be done within the activity/service/broadcast system, then it is likely that a device that is indeed Android will run the same input/output in all of those devices....

That noted, it is possible that a command, a method, or even a whole class to be "loosely" developed in a single device, and thus misbehave in that product.
