It is possible to use Processing to make a native Android app. You can write your code in Processing and publish it to your phone or tablet through USB (provided that your device is in "developers mode").

To get started you need to install:

• Processing
• Android mode in Processing
• Android SDK (Software Development Kit)

Also it is possible to install additional libraries in Processing to access the sensors of your mobile device more easily. One that I found useful is the Ketai library.

The following steps worked for my computer (Processing 2.2.1 and on OSX 10.9)
