Thank you for the response, for clearing all things. i'm so sorry for the question.

I am sorry to mentioned the android; (but what i mean is android development).

I've also googled the model but it gives me 2(two) kinds of OS which is : Windows CE and Java. If i develop using java will it be compatible on Windows CE.(Sorry for newbie question because i'm not familiar with this device.)

You are in the wrong place. You need to get the technical documentation for the device and study it to find out what you can and cannot do.

The manufacturer clearly states, that the development environment is Java - and there is an SDK provide with the product...
(There is not the slightest connection between Android and the handheld device you have here)

Um...

Java is a programming language, which runs under an operating system - and can run on PC and Android devices.

Android is an operating system, not a programming language, so you don't code "in" Android, you code "for" Android in a programming language (generally Java)

So you can't compare them and say "this" or "that" as they aren't equivalents in any way.

Google says that the MS-P2500 Handheld Terminal[^] runs Win-CE, so I suspect that neither Android or Java would really be applicable...try C++ or C#!

Did you really mean to write "Java or Android"?! This would be the total absurd: Java is a language, and Android is an OS. Hope it was just a typo or something.

Android development documentation highly recommends using Java. However, the final choice is only yours. :-)
