Hello there, this might sound like rather weird question but here it goes anyway:
Is it possible to develop standard Android applications without having to use Java? (And I am not talking about direct access to Linux kernel and native machine code, that's not "standard Android application".) To put this question into perspective: I am a programmer since end of 1970s. I began on pocket calculators, continued with Basic and Assembler and now I am primarily using Lua, Smalltalk and other "weird" languages (I tried at least a dozen of other programming languages). Since I am working mostly on single-person projects, I don't have to give a damn about what programming languages other people prefer. The "trouble" is that I somehow bypassed both C and Java (I hated both of them) and went straight from machine code through Python and Ruby to "elegant" higher-level languages. No, I don't want to start a flamewar, I am just stating the facts: I don't like C and Java at all. I know that Android uses some kind of bytecode language called Dalvik which is being generated from Java JAR files (or from Java source files? I am not sure). Is there a sufficient documentation to learn the Dalvik bytecode and create my own Dalvik compiler in my preferred (pseudo-)language? However strange that might sound, getting to know Dalvik virtual machine and creating my own tools for it would be far more pleasant experience for me than having to learn Java and Java development process. Oh yes, and I am using Linux. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
