How to integrate Python scripting in my Android App (like SL4A)
- by Seraphim's host
I need to add scripting layer to my android App. So I can remotely prepare a script that my app download form a web service and execute on the user device.
I found a interesting project called Scripting Layer for Android (SL4A) here:
http://code.google.com/p/android-scripting/
I'm not sure I can execute Python script without installing the PythonForAndroid_r4.apk first. I can't force my customer to install that application!
So my question is, can the SL4A layer be integrated in my app without the need to install other apk?
I need to execute actions like update data in the DB, create/read/delete a file on the sd card... Not so complex but I see SL4A can do a lot of things like these.
Other scripting libraries?
EDIT:
Found also MVEL: http://mvel.codehaus.org/ but I think it needs to be integrated to execute complex operations like accessing a DB...
