Android :: How Can I Add Scripting To App?
Dec 30, 2009I am searching for some method of extending Android application with scripting support. All I need is something similar to Lua's C api - I should be able to bind a few functions (classes not necessary) and run a script with a parameter to do some actions and produce result. Android api bindings are unnecessary (even unwanted for security reasons). I have searched this group and google for a lib like this, but no success. Sure there is Android Scripting Environment, but it runs Lua and Python normal interpreter as a separate C process. The Java port of Lua interpreter, which I could possibly compile for Android, doesn't seem to be ready yet, but I may be wrong. I have also looked at JRuby, which looks good except it is large and it may be hard to limit script's access to Java classes, or to set it up properly. Also, Android seems to have some Javascript interpreter (with Webkit) - maybe there is a way to use it inside app? So here is my question: How can I add scripting to my app?

Jan 22, 2010Does anyone know of a web browser app, or a script for a web browser, that would allow an Android user to update all four of the windows in the web browser (from a pre-configured list of URLs) with a single input to the smartphone? With such an app, one could update four pages in the background, where 3G or "Edge" network speed would not be very important, and then. later on, quickly view/review all four web pages once the time-consuming data fill was complete. My job situation does not allow me to pull out the smartphone and play with it for several minutes to do this -- I could however start the process then come back in a few minutes and quickly toggle through four-screens of already loaded web info.

View 4 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Which GUI Framework Learn To Know Scripting / HCI?
Mar 6, 2010I have some knowledge about Human computer interaction and some basic knowledge programming scripts (Python) that run from start to finish and automate some tasks I want to do or calculations. In the past I built interfaces in HTML with PHP behind it. I would like my python scripts to evolve from the command line and build some applications with GUIs that would allow the user to drag files and push buttons to initiate operations and check progress graphically. Since I write my scripts in Python I looked at some of the options (Tkinter, wxPython, PyQt) but I can't make a decision between them to invest my time learn one and not the other. My criteria: Has a introduction for programmers for GUI (what are the differences from a script, examples of some simple interfaces). A framework that would allow me to run my programs on the platforms I use most (Windows) but that can also run on Mac and maybe Linux, without too much modification. If not the same, similar to how you program GUI for Android and/or Nokia smartphones. I'm planning to write some programs for these platforms in the near future so I would like to carry over some of the lessons here onto those platforms, if possible. I did find this previous question but none of the answers are satisfactory. Does any of the frameworks fit these requirements better than the others or are they essentially similar and I would be happy with any of them?

Oct 13, 2009I'm trying to make my app scriptable. Specifically, I need to expose a few Java APIs and make callbacks settable via user-written scripts. Ideally I'd like to hide some of the complexity away in a DSL, but there's no way of accomplishing what I want neatly without some form of user scripting, so I may accept another alternative if it meets my requirements. Initially I looked into Scala as that is my main language of choice, but the Scala interpreter is just a wrapper around its compiler, which I'm told won't run well if at all on the phone.
I've also tried JRuby, which worked under Cupcake. There appears to be a regression in the form of a Dalvik bug that prevents it from working under Donut, however:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4242
I've also seen the Android Scripting Environment. Am I correct in assuming that this only supports running full interpreters and not embedding scripting languages into apps?
Android :: How To Compress Data To Obtain Same Value In Python?
Mar 11, 2010I am porting a Python application to Android and, at some point, this application has to communicate with a Web Service, sending it compressed data. In order to do that it uses the next method:
def stuff(self, data): "Convert into UTF-8 and compress."
return zlib.compress(simplejson.dumps(data))
I am using the next method to try to emulate this behavior in Android:
private String compressString(String stringToCompress) { Log.i(TAG, "Compressing String " + stringToCompress);
byte[] input = stringToCompress.getBytes();
// Create the compressor with highest level of compression Deflater compressor = new Deflater();
//compressor.setLevel(Deflater.BEST_COMPRESSION);
// Give the compressor the data to compress compressor.setInput(input); compressor.finish();
// Create an expandable byte array to hold the compressed data.
// You cannot use an array that's the same size as the orginal because
// there is no guarantee that the compressed data will be smaller than
// the uncompressed data.
ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream(input.length);
// Compress the data byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
while (!compressor.finished()) { int count = compressor.deflate(buf);
bos.write(buf, 0, count); } try { bos.close();
} catch (IOException e) { } // Get the compressed data byte[] compressedData = bos.toByteArray();
Log.i(TAG, "Finished to compress string " + stringToCompress);
return new String(compressedData);
}
But the HTTP response from the server is not correct and I guess it is because the result of the compression in Java is not the same as the one in Python. I ran a little test compressing "a" both with zlib.compress and deflate.
Python, zlib.compress() -> x%9CSJT%02%00%01M%00%A6
Android, Deflater.deflate -> H%EF%BF%BDK%04%00%00b%00b
How should I compress the data in Android to obtain the same value of zlib.compress() in Python?

Jul 27, 2010I just ordered an Android smartphone and want to start playing around with creating my own applications. Now the question is which language to use, the native Java or Python using SL4A (former ASE).
I tend to Python, as I know it much better than Java, but I'm wondering what I would be missing using a "second class" language on Android. On the SL4A website it is also stated to be alpha quality software, which is not exactly encouraging.
I'm also not quite sure what the limitations of the scripting environment are and if they would be problematic.

Sep 29, 2009I'm looking into a solution that needs apps to be dynamically extensible. One way could be an extension language or scripting engine. I've seen the Android Scripting Environment, but this needs the actual C scripting engine (Python or Lua) running as a separate process. I would like the runtime to be a Java app itself, like JavaScript using Rhino (and not using a WebView). Another way is to download Java code dynamically. But, Android does not support jar downloading and dynamic classloading, since these bytecode class files are not used directly.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Making Python Service To Run In Suspend State
Jan 16, 2010Here's my Python script written using android-scripting:
CODE:............
while True:
CODE:.............
It basically vibrates every minute (like a motivator). However, when the phone is locked with screen blanked out, I don't sense any vibration. Perhaps Android is freezing the script (and hence the while loop)? Note that I am indeed running this script as a service (long-tap and click 'Start as service').
Is there a way to make this script work all the time regardless of the phone suspend state?
Update 1: I do hear the vibration occasionally, not every minute .. but rather like every 5-10 minutes randomly.
Update 2: This problems occurs if I run the script normally (not as a service). Seems like "time.sleep" is not sleeping for the specified time.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Modify Python USB Device Driver To Only Use Vendor_id And Product_id - Excluding BCD
Mar 27, 2010I'm trying to modify the Android device driver for calibre (an e-book management program) so that it identifies devices by only vendor id and product id, and excludes BCD.
The driver is a fairly simply python plugin, and is currently set up to use all three numbers, but apparently, when Android devices use custom Android builds (ie CyanogenMod for the Nexus One), it changes the BCD so calibre stops recognizing it.
The current code looks like this, with a simple list of vendor id's, that then have allowed product id's and BCD's with them:
CODE:..........
The line I'm specifically trying to change is:
CODE:............
Which is, the line for identifying a Nexus One. My N1, running CyanogenMod 5.0.5, has the BCD 0x226, and rather than just adding it to the list, I'd prefer to eliminate the BCD from the recognition process, so that any device with vendor id 0x18d1 and product id 0x4e11 or 0x4e12 would be recognized. The custom Android rom doesn't change enough for the specifics to matter.
The syntax seems to require the BCD in brackets.
How can I edit this so that it matches anything in that field?

General :: (SL4A) Importing PHP Or Python Script From Github To Execute From Command Line
Jun 1, 2013What I am trying to do is get either nest-api in PHP or pynest in python to run out of SL4A in order to control my Nest thermostat ultimately out of Tasker. Both are found on github, but I can't link to them as I apparently need ten posts to do so. So a google search for "nest-api github" and "pynest github" will have to do I suppose.
I have absolutely no issues getting either to run out of Terminal on my MacBook Air, but for whatever reading the SL4A shell seems to escape my understanding. I would rather have the PHP script work, as it has more options for things I can set, which I like. Where to put the nest.class.php on my phone in order for the PHP shell to reference it when running the example.php or any script I write myself. When I put both files in the sdcard/sl4a/scripts folder and try to run either from within either sl4a or sl4a's shell I get a call to undefined function error.
For the python script, I'm not sure how I need to import the module so that I can call it with nest.py at the beginning of my command line prompt and follow it up with the user name and password and so on. I've done everything including trying to create an .egg file, which I've since been told is not necessary, and that I simply have to put it in the /sl4a/scripts folder. That doesn't make sense to me though, as I needed to run the setup.py command on my computer in order to start using it, and the .egg file should be the equivalent of that on the phone, no?
So what I am looking for is the foolproof way to get either a php or python script running through the shell that isn't actually hooking into the Android environment at all, which is what all the writeups I have found in my searching seems to pertain to. Then eventually make sure that they are available in a way that Tasker can call them. I should also note that all this has been done in an emulator through eclipse until this point, as I didn't want to go screwing around with my brand new Nexus 4's file structure until I had the best practice perfected.
Android :: Difference Between Sha224 And Python Sha224
