Android development is doable in this mode. Just need to run Ant on the
command line.

The other model that I've used is Scripting Layer for Android (SL4A) which
facilitates running scripting languages (Python, Lua, JavaScript, etc.)
directly on the device. Each has API hooks into the underlaying Android
API. Comes with both native and  webview UI. Also has a remote execution
model so you can develop on your desk.

Takes some infrastructure to get going. You need SL4A and the interpreter
of your choice (I prefer Python) on your device.
