You can now develop for Arduino directly from Android using theย ArduinoDroid app, released on Fridayย onto the Google Play store. The app allows you toย develop, compile and uploadยนย sketches to yourย Arduinoย board directly from yourย Androidย phone or tablet. The app is free to download, but displays ads. The ads can be removed with a $2.99 in-app purchase.

ยนSketch upload is only supported for the Arduino Uno and other FTDI based boards. Android devices with USB-host support are required.
