Title: Not sure this is the correct subforum, but...

I want to do some simple apps for Android, not games. Can BASIC do the trick? Can anybody recommend what software to use? I'm totally new to Android programming, currently my experience is 100% on the side of user.

We don't do Android.

Yes I know that, just wondering if using BASIC is a good idea for coding Android apps, and if so, get a recommendation to a suitable software package. Maybe I should ask this question at Off-Topic?

My opinion is that, for maximum efficiency, you should write Android apps using a modern language. Even if BASIC is used somewhere, it'll be a translator thing like we do for the desktop currently and it'd likely introduce middle-men that are unwanted in a mobile environment.

SmallBASIC works on Android, interpreter only, free from GooglePlay.

Perfect for small apps! Discussed on this forum:

PS very similar to QB64 in that it could run old QB code with little or no modification.
