Question

Are there advantages of using Emacs instead of Eclipse for Android development?

If so, what are they?

Answer 1

This is not really a platform-specific question. Instead, you're asking a question about development environments, which comes down to personal preference. Do you like working with emacs, in general, more than you like working with Eclipse? Do you prefer the "construct your own environment out of different scripts and your own lisp hacking" approach to the monolithic distribution-plus-plugins approach?

If you can be more productive with one or the other, that's the one that you should use. It has nothing to do with developing for Android versus, say, writing web-apps.
