Hello world with android but without eclipse

I am pretty sure that I once stumbled upon a link that showed how to create a hello world application without eclipse, but I can't find that link anymore. It certainly needs not be a hello world application, but it would be nice if someone could point me to somewhere that explains the steps needed to create an application without eclipse.

Maybe what you were looking at was the maven android plugin (which is awesome btw) and the page on the archetypes it has. So you could just use this snippet here:

 mvn archetype:generate \
  -DarchetypeArtifactId=android-quickstart \
  -DarchetypeGroupId=de.akquinet.android.archetypes \
  -DarchetypeVersion=1.0.5 \
  -DgroupId=your.company \
  -DartifactId=my-android-application

And that will do the trick for you.

P.S. If you read the docs you can specify the target SDK (or min SDK if you will) by adding the '-Dplatform=' option to that command.

Google's Hello World tutorial has a section on managing projects from the command line.

Well, the best place to find would be the android docs.

Check this link out: http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/index.html

It has, for instance in the category "Managing Projects" and "Building and Running" links for

  • "From Eclipse with ADT"

but also for

  • "From the Command Line"

There is enough information about how to develop without Eclipse :D
