It is a very useful article for the developers regarding a number of other languages and
toolkits for developing Android applications, beyond the standard
Java-based SDK. thanks for sharing.

Hi,

I found a tutorial about bytecode manipulation in android. I tested and works fine, but maybe it is not so deep to make great things yet.

Hecl (http://www.hecl.org/) is a scripting language that is written in Java and supports Android and J2ME and is having work done to support Blackberry. It provides a command oriented language similar to Tcl and also provides access to the underlying Java libraries. So unlike ASE (last time I looked) which does not let you create a GUI, you can create Android graphical layouts with Hecl.

Apart from ASE having Lua, you can also embed Lua on your application using Luaj ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/luaj/ ) , that is a LuaVM written in Java.

On its own, it is just a Javascript library, AFAICT. For on-device applications, you might be able to use it in conjunction with PhoneGap or the equivalent (see yesterday's post).

Thanks!

That's cool! I've added Kawa to my list of projects to track. So far, I haven't seen any public releases of anything from App Inventor, though.

Thanks!

JQTouch looks interesting, I think they're working on making it more compatible for android, for now it's working best with the iphone.

Test it from your android phone at http://www.jqtouch.com/preview/demos/main/#home

Kawa Scheme (http://www.gnu.org/software/kawa/) is used by Google Labs's App Inventor (http://googleresearch.blogspot.com/2009/08/under-... See also this article: http://per.bothner.com/blog/2009/AndroidHelloSche... While Kawa can generate bytecode on-the-fly, for Android you need to use the ahead-of-time compiler (preferred) and/or the interpreter. Tuned Kawa code blows most of the other mentioned languages out of the water (I say immodestly).
