You can now develop an android app using apps you can easily installed on your android phone. I know it's something not possible to do before due to the limitations on mobile phones. But now, with these amazing android apps you can start your career as an Android Developer with your android phone once you have knowledge of the Java Programming language.
Even if you don't, some of these apps come pre built with great tutorials to start learning Android Development. But I wouldn't advise you if you're a newbie in Programming to start your programming journey with those tutorials. I've written a detailed guide on how to start learning programming as a beginner where I introduced another great app to start learning easily. This app is ideal for any level of programmer, whether you are a beginner, intermediate or pro.

But, to enjoy this app, you may need to buy the pro version which is not normally free. One important feature that's missing in the free version is the ability to save your project. So, you can't save your work if you don't buy the premium version of the app.
Other than that, AIDE is great. The code completion feature of AIDE is incomparable to any of the other apps listed below and that's why I had no choice but to put it at the first of the list.
