The million dollar question is what is the IP to use in scriba?

You are going to have to do your testing in a top/down script at the moment. (no functions or subs)
I'm going ahead with building the DVM module on Ubuntu and running it from there. (until SB Android is fixed)

Glad to see you talking to the Droid. 
It might be easier and more readable if you change this code ...
to something like this. This follows the JSON string declaration more closely. (even though it doesn't seem to matter)
Hint: Don't forget the \n at the end of your JSON messages to the server. The response contains a linefeed so you will want to use CHOMP() to remove it before passing it to JSON2SB().

Good News!
I found a workaround until the SB dev team solves the SUB/FUNCTION issue. SL4A allows you to access the RPC server on the phone/pad/emulator if you start the server as a public connection. This assigns an accessible IP address rather then localhost. I can use scriba that is running on my Ubuntu 64 box and control the Android device via RPC. I should be able to move the scripts (untouched) to the Android device once Armando generates a new scriba.

While testing the new DVM module, I discoved that calling a SUB or FUNCTION puts it in an endless loop. The same test programs work fine on Ubuntu scriba. I have a funny feeling the initial ARM gcc bug that Steve found has raised it's ugly head again.

I'm playing around with a JSON response parser that creates a SB associative array. This is my first stab at it and may find a better way.
jrs@laptop:~/sb/test$ scriba json_in.sb
null
1
gsm
jrs@laptop:~/sb/test$
Code: [Select]
r = """{"error":null,"id":1,"result":"gsm"}"""
r = MID(r,2)
r = LEFT(r,LEN(r) - 1)
r = REPLACE(r, "\"", "")
SPLITA r BY "," TO t
FOR x = 0 to UBOUND(t)
a{LEFT(t[x],INSTR(t[x],":")-1)} = MID(t[x],INSTR(t[x],":")+1)
NEXT
PRINT a{"error"},"\n"
PRINT a{"id"},"\n"
PRINT a{"result"},"\n"

Here is an example of a request / response call to the SL4A RPC server. This is opening a SB socket and sending a JSON packet to the RPC scripting server. (see attached screenshot)
The Androids API (scripting version) is fairly extensive. I would be willing to help build this interface if others contribute. I'll post a few high level functions to get the ball rolling and see what happens. My initial goal was to create a proof of concept and see if others saw promise or not. If there is no interest by others then I'll return to my IUP project and revisit this again at later time.

I was using SL4A r4 to run my initial tests. I found that I had to look at the properties of the RPC server to get the port it assigned. This was a PITA but this is proof of concept so I didn't mind the extra step. I recently installed SL4A r5 and it allows setting a default port for the RPC server.
What's new in SL4A - Scripting Layer for Android r5:
Android API
What's new in SL4A - Scripting Layer for Android r5:
- MediaRecorderFacade: If you record a video file with extension mp4 or 3gp it uses the appropriate format with the more common h264 codec.
- SensorManagerFacade: Orientation threshold events were causing excessive entries into the Event Queue, so I have limited entries to threshold crossing both ways.
- New media recorder option: recorderStartVideo allows you to specify video size.
- Improved error trapping in the activityForResult functions, and now you can specify mimetype without data.
- Changed eventWaitFor to check for events already in queue.
- Support for full screen user interface
- Ability to set server port to a known value (Preferences-->General-->Server Port)
- Editor: goto line number, and ability to turn of autocomplete, set no wrap, find and replace, auto-indent
- Added "inputType" parameter to dialogCreateInput
- Better support for "unsupported" interpreters
- Assorted other fixes and tweaks.

sbhttpd is a CGI server that run ScriptBasic scripts to generate HTML related content. It doesn't serve up images or process standard HTML documents.
I would only run standalone in an intranet application based environment. Using Apache as a front end web server provide the security, load leveling and media services. I have only used sbhttpd as a proxy application server. It's light weight (500KB) and runs as a service. (always on)

I was able to get ScriptBasic for Android to display an Android GUI message box (makeToast) from a SB script. This is using the SL4A (Scripting Layer for Android)
Code: [Select]
OPEN "localhost:56098" FOR SOCKET AS #1
PRINT #1,"{id:1,method:makeToast,params:[\"ScriptBasic\"]}"

Are you running sbhttpd as a standalone or a proxy?
