Putting icons on the GUI isn't real programming anyway.

It's Java. What did you expect? The smallest app is still several thousand bytes:

4k demo in Linux(!) and Windows...

It's not just you. I've been working on an xposed framework module, what a pain in the ass. Plus using eclipse makes me want to punch someone. And the whole project is pretty pointless now that they're switching to ART.

I don't know now but I did two applications for my old company almost four years ago and it was really painful: it's not only Java (though I remember I needed the infamous NDK to do some real-time shit in C which was almost worse), but the entire enterprise developing platform (ie sdk+eclipse) was completely disgusting. I would prefer to starve to death before having to do some stupid app for Android again.

Android is Java done the Sepples way, with pointless class hierarchies littered everywhere. It's actually worse than the standard Java APIs.

There are some kind-of half decent scripting apps you can use, hopefully one will eventually get the ability to compile

Who said that? Besides I used the NDK to compile perl.

Just put a webview to cover the entire screen and write why you want in Javashit. The js code can call into the app itself when the page is stored locally.
