This post is a question about the feasability of using prerendered live wallpapers on android 1.5/1.6, as they do not, in the stock version at least, currently support live wallpapers/backrounds.
This is just an idea, and I have no idea if it would work; but what if, instead of trying to actually render live wallpapers,
would it be possible to have an app that runs in the backround and just changes the wallpaper at a set interval to the next image in a folder on the sd card? The reason I'm posting this is because I don't have the knowledge or time to actually develop it; nor do I have the hardware that is needed to set up a productive environment for android development.
Does anyone who has viewed this have any knowledge of whether it is plausible? If it is, it would be great if someone were to develop it as an open source project/mod/possibly even an app.
Something like this?

Hi,
i wonder if it's possible to code right ON an android device, such as the upcomming tablets?
plz correct me if i'm wrong, but i'm dreaming of coding and compiling direct on the tablet. (on my old wm6 device i did so by using basic4ppc, but it would be great to do so without using fring.)
Is this realistic or am i simply dreaming?
thanks for any reply to my silly noob question
your's
pedro
P.S.: by the way,do you gurus think there will be things like video-editing (similar functionality to pinnacle studio/vegas) and vst support for android?
No reply at all??
PLZ boys....can JDK and eclipse be run on an android device????
The only thing I'm aware of at the moment is the project (formerly) known as "Android Scripting Environment"

Among other things, it gives you Perl

Well, Eclipse is a Java application, so in theory it should be port-able onto an Android device. However, I imagine there would be so many things to fix/work-around that it just wouldn't be worth it. For example, I don't think Android has the Swing/AWT components, which Eclipse probably uses, so you'd have to rewrite all the UI display classes to use the Android libraries.
Much more realistic would be simply a syntax-highlighting text editor, which would let you write (but not compile, of course) on the go. I looked around for one of those a while ago but couldn't find one. I started writing one, but then decided that my urge to program on my phone wasn't strong enough for the amount of effort it would take to write such a program...

i've read today good news..... basic4android (basic4ppc) announced a basic4android version (early beta) and "maybe" an on-device-programming version

Hello,
it will probably be no version to program with B4A on the device. The IDE runs in conjunction with windows. Net.

These issues are not the only issue i see...
What about javacc wouldn't this need to be ported as a java application as well?
Which i dont see how you can develop a java compiler in java if you can i'll be amazed.
we'd have to wait for the native library imports to do that from my current knowledge
Please someone correct me if im wrong
I know this thread is old, but if anyone come across this thread search for Aide in the play store.
i think AIDE is the best way to coding ON the tablet/phone!
Try AIDE It's free on Google Play.
AIDE is a good choose if you can buy premium key. I personally did and I'm satisfied. I use aide when I'm away of my PC and get an idea
Free version allows only projects with 5 or less java files. Excluding R.java and BuildConfig.java that's 3. I doubt that anyone can write anything serious with 3 java files.

+1 for AIDE you can't go wrong with premium especially if your projects are big (lots of files)
AIDE also supports ssh git and dropbox sync last I checked. It also features an auto complete kinda like in eclipse.
Although I always begin my projects on a computer especially for the ui design (I'm a noob this way)
as for C there is C4droid although I'm not sure if its possible to link it with android java code.
But c4droid beats having to set up the proper toolchains if your creating a pure native application.

I has AIDE+PasGUI+C4Droid on my device and I quite satisfied with it, though it's difficult to manage with interface

In general, why are complex/in-depth programs not available for Android? In the regards that I recognize that you cant do everything photoshop has to offer using a mobile version of photoshop but is there a reason that there arent multiple applications to make up one complex application available to Android devices?
To simplify: If I wanted to create a .gif image I would have to use my computer/laptop to do that so why isnt there a .gif creator avilable for mobile devices? Is it just simply that the program hasnt been created or that the phone wouldnt be able to handle that much data? If the phone cannot handle this much data would it be easier to create multiple progrmas to handle this?
Its just not really what mobile devices are meant for. When there's a strong demand for this sort of thing it will get made.
Thank you Lakers I've just always been curious about that.

I am waiting for the hardware to advance more. When things start getting more complex the more processing and memory used. I know the apps I develop today were not possible with my G1 because of the hardware was too slow to keep up. The more the OS, SDK, and hardware advance the more complex apps you will see.
smartphones are leaps and bounds ahead of computers of 20 years ago that were creating / editing gifs.
a gif is just a file format. what's the point of having an indexed image on your phone when you can have the image with millions of colours? there's no need for it, and frankly, no point.
still, feel free to make an app that converts to a gif...
Let me preface that I am familiar with developing Java web apps in both Linux and Windows, but I am just starting to delve into developing Android applications. Forgive me if this has been addressed somewhere else - I couldn't find anything on this subject.
How viable would it be to use a tablet for development, specifically for developing Android applications? To be clear, I'm not talking about writing apps for the tablet - I'm talking about setting up a development environment on the tablet and using it to develop stuff with. Has anyone successfully done this? It seems like something like the Transformer Prime would be a good candidate for this. Are there IDEs for Android, or anything that could be ported over?
The IDE used by most Android developers is eclipse, which isn't available in Android. Not sure if it's possible on the Prime yet, but you would need to install a full blown OS (like Ubuntu). Once that was done it could be used for development.
EDIT: check out javaIDEdroid in the market. I haven't used it, but it claims to allow exactly what you're looking for.

That's cool, I'll check it out.
I primarily use Eclipse. I wonder if it could be recompiled to run in Android? Or maybe the best solution is just to dual boot the thing with Android and Ubuntu.
This is a silly question, and may apply more generally, but does anyone know if there's a browser on the N10 or any android device can support javascript/flash? I know that Android is supposed to support it and that it is mainly composed of java but some websites are just not working for me.
Example: Blackboard (that website used by professors most universities)
My HTC EVO 4g LTE supports the HTML but not so much the Javascript. I'm really wanting to view PDFs and slides (I haven't checked if blackboard uses flash aswell).
Sorry I'm not too savvy on the the programming side of things, but thanks in advance!
Hmm, I don't think there's a plugin or anything on the Android-side of things, but there is an ARM-version of the Java plugin for Linux. I had it working on my Nexus 7 + Ubuntu a little while back.
Well JavaScript is supported on all android browsers I think
It definitely works on chrome
There is no Java support though since Java and JavaScript are not the same

Just trying to get a way to get some websites working and get the most out of the device. I'd like my N10 to replace my laptop completely maybe if someone can get native ubuntu I could dual boot.

From what I've seen about development and research documentation in the MSDN network (I'm a subscriber, so I can see almost all of it), they wouldn't actually be against the project. As long as all copies of Windows are properly licenced/owned for each user, I've not seen anything wrong with it yet. They are actually quite open to porting/hacking their OS into different machines and setups, sometimes going as far as providing funding for it. It's all about innovation (and spreading the available uses of their OS to larger markets, as a by-product, of course.)
I'm going to look into this and see if there's not something I can do towards that. Guess I'll set up the Android IDE again and get a VM going, then see if I can't start hacking the Win8 ISO into the VM. If I have any positive progress I'll keep you in touch
