Android :: Way To Get Extensible Apps With Scripting / Bytecode Downloading?
Sep 29, 2009
I'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.

I would like to inject code in an android application at runtime. I have tried to use dx tool to generate a dexfile in the sdcard but when i want to instantiate, it fails. Are there any tools to inject code generating new dalvik bytecode? I am studying some libraries, aspecjt or guise for android. Is it better to work with a script language?

This is the code I am using with reboot mod, replacing hotboot "pkill" command.
:try_start_27
invoke-static {}, Ljava/lang/Runtime;->getRuntime()Ljava/lang/Runtime;
move-result-object v0
const/4 v3, 0x2
new-array v4, v3, [Ljava/lang/String;
const/4 v5, 0x0
[Code] .....
It seems to be fine, as it doesn't break anything, but the script won't start.

I 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?

Does 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.

I have an XML based file format that I'm using to store and load instances of objects. I'm interested in adding some scripting support to those objects so that they can respond to events. That said, I also don't want to cripple performance. Are there any well known scripting options for Android - maybe even ones where while loading, I can pre-compile and cache the scripts?

I'm a new HTC Hero owner - just bought the phone yesterday. I have downloaded apps from the Android Market, but last night and today, my phone will get into a state where I will select an app to download, it will tell me to watch the notification bar for download status, and nothing will happen. If I select the app in the store to look at the download progress, it just says: "downloading...." with the animated bar, but never downloads. I tried turning off the phone and turning it back on, and that seemed to correct the problem for one download, but then subsequent downloads won't start up. I have barely installed any apps on it, and I'm not really sure what the problem is. Is this a known issue with the Android Market, or do I have something wrong with my phone? Has anyone else encountered this and know why it's happening?

I'm using "AppBrain App Market". I have installed a bunch of apps, but some get stuck and just stay in "Downloading" state. They just never finish downloading. I see the progress bar "barbershop pole" style but there is no sign of progress. Some are new installations, some are updates.
This is despite the fact that some apps HAVE successfully downloaded and installed. What could the problem be? How do I resolve this?
Cancelling the download and restarting the download resolved the problem once. (Downloads / click on neverending download item, Cancel Download)
But if the button series is (Downloads / click on neverending download item, *Installing*). Then the Installing button is greyed out then I'm stuck.
This thread did not provide any solutions: Market Apps Finish Downloading but Won't Install

I 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?

I'd like to use python scripts as plugins for an app I'm developing. This seems to be possible by interacting with android-scripting-environment (ASE), as is done by Locale, but I haven't found any documentation about this. How you execute ASE scripts from your own app?

I am under the impression that Nandroid backup & restore completely wipes the system data and overwrites with a saved image of the Android OS with whatever was on the phone at the time of backup. I created a backup to my SD Card, installed an app (ROM Manager)--couldn't get it to work so I uninstalled it. I then did a restore on my previously saved backup and right after booting up, I see a notification, open it, and catch ROM Manager downloading again to, eventually, install itself.How does the market, or my phone, know that this app was previously installed? Is it saved to my Google account somewhere? Is the data stored on my SD Card? My Nandroid backup that was created without the app being installed shouldn't have this information still on it should it?

I was wondering is there any way to set or change the default location for downloading apps to either my phone or SD card? .. My Palm centro had the option to either download to either the phone or SD card.. I was wondering if the Droid has the same option possibilities. Also Is there any way to transfer apps or programs currently stored on the phone to the SD card?

I've got an iphone app and I'm looking to port some of the data-layer objective-c code to a scripting language which can also run on an android phone. Any suggestions on what to use? I'd also like to be able to push new scripts to the app for bug fixes. Not sure if this is against the iphone SDK agreement or not.

I'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:

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?

I read an article from the web on SL4A (which is also known as Android Scripting Environment). The site from where i got an article is: http://infoworld.com/d/developer-world/php-development-comes-google-android-652. But i got the theoretical knowledge only for SL4A (ASE). Anybody having practical idea or practical example, pleas suggest to me. Which are the scripting language supported by ASE? How do i download script?

Downloaded ASE from Google code, and was looking through tutorials, and available scripts. I found a script I wanted to try, however copy pasting it is removing all whitespace (and this is a Python script. Is there a simple way to download a script from the Internet into the Android Scripting Environment?

All of a sudden, yesterday, my apps won't download or update! I hit the update button (or download) and it exits me back into the home of the market place, and I wait. I wait. And I wait. Nothing. I look back on the page and it is stuck on "Starting download..." Also, the "Google Talk" solution won't work for me - Talk just exits back to the home screens when I touch the icon.

Just like the topic says. I had Froyo Android 2.2 and did do a successful download to android 2.1 and everything works but the market. Occasionally it will download a app or two but then it just gets stuck and never will download anything. I'm guessing this has something to do with being on 2.2 then downgrading to 2.1. It is a google server issue or something on my phone?
