This link says that Android support Python, Lua and BeanShell Scripts, subsequently for Perl too. If it is so, is it possible for developers to write python scripts and call them in their standard Java based android applications?

If I use just one or two components from the library, will it import all the resources and packages or is it smart enough to only import the referenced resources and packages that are needed?
The alternative is to create a single 'Android Library Project' for each component which I don't want to do if I can help it.

After I managed to pull the sucker out, my eye IMMEDIATELY caught the massive Droid X Eye we've all come to know and love.
I had no idea what it meant, or what was inside, but I immediately raced inside my house and like a kid on Christmas morning ravaged the hell out of the package to see what treasures inside awaited me!
Of course I took a few photos of my "booty":
Front of Package
Back of Package
Contents (t-shirt, large sticker, and Droid flyer with 25% off accessory coupon)
I'm really not sure why I received this as I don't recall signing up for any type of promo, besides the twitter account tied to the scavenger hunt.
Keep checking those mailboxes X owners!
Update: There is talk that those who renewed or began a new contract with their Droid X purchase will be receiving these. Supposedly they have only started shipping out to Northeast customers.
I 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?
I learned that the Android Scripting Environment (ASE) supports python code. Can I take my existing python programs and run them on android? Apart from the GUI, what else will I need to adapt? How can I find the list of supported python libraries for ASE?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.
Here'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.
Is it possible to evaluate a string of python code (or Perl) from Java when developing Android applications?

I'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?
How can i get device information from nonrooted device with python script? As I understand python don't have API like os.android.build in Java.
I need to get system information from device, such as cpu frequencies, gpu vendor and other (like in Antutu and another benchmarks).
I know how to write python script with $getprop information from shell, and from buil.prop file in the system files, but it isn't enough. I also know how to get these information with shell command and busybox installed, but I shouldn't root them.
What 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.
I'm writing an app, that has a somewhat modular system. It has a core app, and some apps, that consist of a single Service, that implements the desired interface. I followed the guide to create the IPC communication. But now I need to get all the services, installed on the system, that my core app can work with. How do I do this? I mean, is there any way to mark my Service apps with some kind of a tag, and then filter results, presented by the PackageManager#getInstalledPackages() based on that tag value? What's the common practice of doing so?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to modify the native android applications downloaded from the android source repo at github. But I noticed that after creating Eclipse projects from some apps, like the Launcher, there are missing imports, variables that are not declared anywhere else, etc... After my initial research, I noticed that some of the libs that are native, are compiled at runtime and registered in the dalvik VM as java libs and by having done this the system finds these as already present libs, the same goes for the "phantom" variables. But I don't understand how does a developer open such a project in any java ide, and compile it. So what do Google developers use to work on android apps? I don't believe it's eclipse, since I am not sure you can make eclipse use runtime imports, and runtime variables. And I am almost certain that they do not write code in notepad.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have seen several applications that are free, but allow for add on packages to be installed. Gang Wars sells Respect Points Mafia sells Favors Dungeon Quest sells Gems The central game is a free app, but you purchase these add on apps for in-game benefit. Has anyone purchased one of these add on apps? What is the experience like? Do you have to leave the add on installed on your phone? How does this work technically? Do you think they set shared preferences? How would you handle the 24 hour uninstall rule? I am considering releasing a free game with 10 levels, but offering a full set of levels (say 25) as a separate paid app. I'm looking for the best way to accomplish this and thought the above might have some bearing.
