View 8 Replies View RelatedI 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?

View 4 Replies View RelatedDoes 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'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?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'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?
My HTC Desire was on Gingerbread 2.3 and I then decided to root the phone with ClockWorkMod. I can flash any ROM fine but when I try to flash a radio it says 'Installation Aborted' and then tells me to use Edify Scripting?

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?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'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 am currently an droid ERIS user on verizon but the EVO and sprint's cheaper price is finally making me go to sprint. However, when I watch/read more previews for Galaxy S, that screen just looks really nice. Only if the EVO had the same screen.... Besides the Sense UI vs Touchflow (?) argument, galaxy lacking flash for camera, is there any argument to get the EVO? They both have 1500mh battery but super amoled is supposed to be more energy efficient so I'm thinking that will last longer. I'm hoping some of you can give me insightful unbiased opinion of the two.

I hear from some people that I could get the phone at the 2 year price and it would then extend my contract another 2 years from that date. Or is the 2 year contract with the phone, where I would NEED to cancel the contract in order to get the 2 year pricing on the droid incredible?

The location is well within city limits and was never a problem with other models of phones. Any possible patches or fixes in the works?

View 27 Replies View RelatedI posted this on other forums and wanted to get opinions from here also. When my phone is on a white screen, like the Google search page, I can see a light brown circle in the middle on my screen. So I'm wondering if the battery is burning the screen. (Something similar to how the battery burns the back of the white iphones and leave a light burn mark.) But can the battery do that to the screen? I did apply a Zagg screen protector with solution, but the circle is to perfect for it to be from that. So, anyone else seeing this or has had this happen to their screen before?

I am currently the only Android user in my office of about 100 people. I am surrounded by BBs and iPhones. The BB users are okay, but the iPhone users can be extremely trying! (I am the in-house graphic designer, and I use WINDOWS! I am so sick of people looking at me aghast and saying "You don't use a Mac?" when they see my set-up. that's another story though)
I am fortunate enough to get to demo Android units from Rogers Wireless to write reviews on my blog, so in addition to my personal Magic, I get to bring in cool new Android phones to show off. (So far the X10 and Acer Liquid E).
One of my co-workers is looking to get a new phone, so I've been showing him Android. Of course, one of the nosy iPhoneys decided to butt in with "NO, you should get an iPhone! I love my iPhone, it's amazing!" (Yes the exclamation marks were there when he said it).
I replied that Android was just as good as iPhone. The co-worker who is looking for a new phone said "but iPhone is easier to use."
I asked why he thought that, and he replied (gesturing to the iPhone co-worker) "well, that's what they say."
The iPhoney just keeps ranting about how much he LOVES his iPhone. When I suggested he might like to try Android to see if he might like it, he declared "I already love my iPhone, why would I want to try anything else?"
It's so frustrating. It's not the iPhone I dislike, it's the hordes of brainwashed zombies who parrot the marketing of Mr. Jobs, and muddy the whole issue.
I want Android to do well, but it's such a struggle dealing with the Fanboy variable.
