Hi everybody, I'm experimenting with run-time bytecode generation on android to get some of the more dynamic languages to work. For now, I have a very crude approach that works in a proof-of-concept stage.
I compile JVM class files to dex on the phone via a call to com.android.dx.command.Main.main(strings); While this is terribly inefficient, it works - but only on Android 1.5 and 1.6, not on 2.x. E.g. on Android 2.0 I get W/System.err( 5550): trouble processing: W/System.err( 5550): com.android.dx.cf.iface.ParseException: invalid constant pool index 0000 W/System.err( 5550): ...while parsing attributes[0] W/System.err( 5550): ...while parsing Code attribute at offset 000001f7 W/System.err( 5550): ...while parsing attributes[0] W/System.err( 5550): ...while parsing methods[2] W/System.err( 5550): ...while parsing lang/core$blah__1.class W/System.err( 5550): ...while processing lang/core$blah__1.class Why doesn't this work on Android 2.x? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
