anyone know of any app IDE's.. id like to have something similar to code::blocks for those that program.. id prefer to use c++ but so far since i havent done much dabbling it seems you can only program in java, which i would have to learn a bit more java cuz i know java for pc haha.. itd b cool if anyone could help cuz i suppose i could just do javascript apps with shortcuts to em but eh...
 
I havent heard of any that work with code blocks (if I am remembering correctly what that means) But you may want to check out "touchqode"'

Edit: if you mean a desktop IDE, then Eclipse is the most popular solution, a few also use intelliJ IDEA, and a few use some other Java IDEs -- but most use Eclipse. Eclipse can handle just about any programming language thrown at it. People do Java, C, C++, ActionScript, PHP, and I'm sure a bunch more (I think perl, python, C# also but not 100%)

Anyways most Android dev is centered around Eclipse, so that's what I would reccomend.
 
Actually Google has the App Inventor which is a lot like Lego's Mindstorm language. You grab blocks which represent statements and attach other blocks to create an app. I last played with it a while ago and it was OK for very simple things. Anything advanced was impossible. I'm sure it's improved since then.

One caveat, it used to be that App Inventor apps could NOT be sold in the Market. Don't know if that restriction has changed.
