I am an user of B4A for last few years. Though I personally have not made any android app due to my paid project workload, B4A is the best Android app development tool, I have found.

  1. Screen Designer - No need to fiddle with Xml
  2. Library for nearly everything under the sun - Most Free
  3. Full featured IDE - Syntax highlight, code helper etc.
  4. Great Community Forum - Just like our DC :)
  5. and much more..

I am really very happy to inform/introduce B4A to our DC members. And I hope developing Android app will be like developing in AutoHotkey now :)

Full instruction on download and installation given on the website.

Regards,

Anand

Here's another one called BuildFire that lets you create your own app from scratch.  Site states build for free for only 30 days, though.
Compaq Presario 5716 (98), Dell Dimension 4700 (XP), Lenovo ThinkPad T530 (Win 7 Pro > Win 10 Pro).
