NOTE:

NOTE: Of late, I have been getting requests for very trivial problems that many of you are facing in your day-to-day work. This blog is not to solve your "project" problems - surely not a "Support" site.
I just love to share my knowledge in my spare time and would appreciate any questions or feedback on the articles and code I have shared. I also do appreciate thought-provoking questions that would lead me to write more articles and share.
But please do not put your day-to-day trivial problems here. Even if you do, you most probably would not get a response here.
Thanks

Multiple Ways of Programming for Android

These seem to be more than one way to program for the Android devices.

The first and the most common way is by using the Software Development Kit (SDK) using Java Syntax. This is what I have been talking about in all the earlier posts and tutorials.

The other 3 interesting ways, I believe, are:
2. Native Development Kit using C / C ++. This I am sure many are aware of and would be using to some extent. This is a little more closer to the OS, not running on top of the virtual Machine.
3. RenderScript using C99 - used to write faster graphics code like the Google Books page turn animation etc.
4. Android Scripting Layer using Python etc.

Interesting options, right?

  5. I feel over next couple of years, HTML5 and JS will replace most of the above options, using Native calls only where required

  16. How about Phonegap with JavaScript and HTML5? I believe it's pretty advanced.

    ReplyDelete
  17. True, there are a lot of options with HTML and JavaScript like Phonegap. These are all frameworks that are built using the innate ways of programming provided by Android.
    There are many other frameworks too like App Mobi, Widget Pad and there are other frameworks that generate native apps like MonoDroid, Titanium Appcelarator, MoSync, RhoMobile Rhodes, Ansco Corona etc.
