Where can I get a Netbeans plugin for android development?
The SDK download page shows how to get an eclipse plugin but I don't use eclipse.
I don't want to spend ages learning eclipse before I get to learning android.
Help please.

Take a look here http://wiki.netbeans.org/IntroAndroidDevNetBeans

I've not use this yet but would be interested in how it easy it is to develop with.

Thanks for that, I installed the plug in and was up and running within minutes.

It lacks the graphical editors that I've seen for eclipse, the layout and value editors so you have to edit the XML manually, other than that its seems to nicely integrated.

I'm struggling with a couple of things, firstly the R.java file is not being generated, also when I try to run the application I get the following error:

The emulator starts but the application is not present.
I will keep working at this and post the solution to these issues when I have them.
