Jython For Android

This is a fork of the projects at:

• http://code.google.com/p/jython-for-android/
• http://code.google.com/p/jythonroid/

Developing

• The primary use case is to run a (J|P)ython app from within an Android App.
• The Android App will usually just be org.jython_on_android.JythonOnAndroidRunScript.
• Specify the name of the python file in a bit of metadata in AndroidManifest.xml
• Build the app
• Install it
• Run it
• Check the log (adb -e logcat) to see if you have errors

Building

  • Java (in your path)
  • Apache Ant (in your path)
