ScriptBasic for Android

<< < (3/15) > >>

Support:
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.  >:(

John, I finally got Android SDK installed with eclipse and setup an AVD device, but I can't figure out how you got Scriptbasic and the Terminal App as well as sl4a on it, the Virtual Android Device, not a real one?

updated:
I tried ADB and got scriba over there, but how did you download terminal and get that over to it?  Thanks in advance.

Support:
You can get the jackpal terminal from github

SL4A can be downloaded from HERE.

I don't see the FUNCTION/SUB looping issue taking too long to fix.

If your using the Linux Android emulator, I use adb to push everything to the SDCARD. (emulated with a file)

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.

Thanks John for the links. I decided to use the emulator, first to learn it and also to try to match what you are doing and then when it works on the emulator then try it on the tablet. Since my cell phone is my only phone and I need to rely on it, I don't want to experiment too much with it.
