My first steps in that direction will probably involve writing code in Ruby, to be packaged and distributed to be used with the Scripting Layer For Android. SL4A uses JRuby, which means that Ruby applications for Android that use SL4A should have access to the standard Java libraries on Android as well (in theory: I have not tested this extensively yet). I am considering graduating to Java/Dalvik development for Android at some point, but I am not sure whether that would be necessary (or even advantageous) for my purposes, at this point. I am interested in any information your query might draw forth here, though, so I'll be watching this thread. > > I am not sure if this kind of off topic could be of interested to > the list so please feel free to answer me directly . I think this is, in fact, on-topic for this list. It is a question particular to FreeBSD, which is the point of the freebsd-questions mailing list, as I understand it. -- Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ]
