I just succeeded in running jruby code from an 'Activity'. the android SDK generates a R class with static inner classes that have lower case names and again there own static fields eg in java R.layout.main (layout being the static class). this seems to create problems. Also code like this:

btn = $activity.find_view_by_id(0x7f050000)
txt = $activity.find_view_by_id(0x7f050001)

class RunScriptListener
include View::OnClickListener

def onClick(view)
src = txt.text.to_s
eval(src)
end

end

btn.on_click_listener = RunScriptListener.new

seems to create the same problem with classloading: Exception: java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: can't load this type of class file.
But of course you can't pass arguments to an activity for the davlikvm.

I thought that JRuby does quite a bit of dynamic Java byte code generation, and that Dalvik doesn't support dynamic byte code generation. Am I wrong on one of those two points? Would you mind giving a brief description of how you've gotten a dynamic language working on Dalvik? Thanks, and exciting work!

Hey, if you need any particular help with Android support in JRuby, drop me a line. I was planning on doing Android/JRuby experiments in a couple of months, but if you're starting sooner, that's cool too!

Last week I fought with CRuby to cross-compile miniruby for Android. Damn, should have waited a week :-) Thank you for the effort. When/where do we get more details?

newbie question:
does this mean that jruby can be used to develop applications on the android plattform?

Awesome!
