Do there currently (or in the works) exist FFI bindings for Google's Android API?
The Android API is obviously a Java API, additionally Android will only execute DEX bytecode programs, so you would first need a way to compile Haskell to Java, Java bytecode or DEX directly. A Google search for "haskell java" turns up at least one good candidate[1], but if you manage to get that working well, binding the APIs is a rather trivial task ;) [1] http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~pls/thesis-topics/ghcjava.html AGL -- Adam Langley agl@imperialviolet.org http://www.imperialviolet.org

That's actually just a thesis proposal, not actual work done. Try this for something closer to realization: http://www.cs.rit.edu/~bja8464/lambdavm/ Regards, Maarten
