Pros

    Basic4android (B4A)

    B4A includes all the features needed to quickly develop any type of Android app. B4A can run in two modes: local compilation and remote compilation. Local compilation mode is faster and has more options such as working with the emulator, USB debugging, unattended installations and others. Remote compilation mode (only available in the trial version) is simpler to get started with.
