Re: [Haskell-cafe] Mobile app development?

In what way are they exposed for use? I certainly haven't seen any API which lets you touch any of the standard GUI utilities without writing JNI wrappers that communicate to the Java based UI elements. As far as I know there is no way to use the actual Android API: you have to write a wrapper through the JNI to use the Java version. Can you point to a native library which allows you to hook in to the Android SDK? I'd be very interested in seeing it. Kris On Wed, Jan 23, 2013 at 10:54 AM, Brandon Allbery wrote:

By the way, the Android APIs aren't really meant to be used by native code: the only real use for native code in Android is GPU code and math code (think games and DSP-type programs).

They may not be "meant" to be in some sense, but from Android 2.3 on they are exposed for such use --- and I believe language porting like this is one of the intended uses.
