Re: [Haskell-cafe] Interfacing Java/Haskell

The RTS was ported to Android, yes. But not by me. I just wrote ghc-android, which is just a build script to help people with setting up the somewhat complex cross-compiler build. IIRC Nathan Hüsken did most of the porting work. Everything you need should be on github. ghc-android and foreign-jni is pretty much it right now. Using the JNI is a bit ugly, yes. But I see it really as just a tool for writing more appealing API bindings, which is what I am working on now. On 2013-05-28 15:35, Kristopher Micinski wrote:

I'm also interested in seeing this.

Have you ported the Haskell runtime to Android? It seems like this should be able to be done, and through the JNI it seems like you should be able to get the system API (albeit, ugly).

However, I'd be really happy to see this setup if you were willing to put it up somewhere so I could hack on it too.

Just out of curiosity, have you got any complete apps that you built that way? Are they in the Google Store?
