Android OS

Hi.

I would like to fiddle around with Android,(develop apps etc) because its open source like Rpi. I wondered if anyone knew the best way of running Android. I dont want to spend any more than £50.

I would be very happy if anyone had any suggestions.

I am still learning the world of Raspberry Pi, apologies if I double post.

I've learnt one thing about Raspberry Pi: You fix an issue, but then you discover another.

The Raspi doesn't run Android, so you will need to look at some of other board. Odroid has been recently mentioned.

Unfortunately, my pc was not listed in the tested platform. I'm afraid that it may not install in my pc.
