Thanks for trying Crosswalk and for the feedback, Lars! Just for the sake of keeping the discussion on the right issues, I wanted to repeat here what we discussed on IRC: the application you first created with the XDK was built for the default Android Webview, not Crosswalk. That sample uses XDK APIs not supported in Crosswalk.

However, the app takes forever (5sec+) to start with an annoying Intel HTML5 dev splash screen and the app itself (accelerometer) is SUPER slow (3-4FPS) so I quickly discarded cross-walk as a platform that would cater for our needs (mobile client for www.empirikit.com<http://www.empirikit.com>). Yesterday I was told that vanilla crosswalk from the website - compiled locally against the android sdk would work much better so I decided to give it a shot. Comments on the documentation/installation/use: 1. I am on linux, so PLEASE keep the needed steps together in ONE place where I can (almost) copy'n'paste from. Don't mix it with windows instructions I have to skip over and (quite a few times) miss some Linux instructions hiding between them. I know there are not many steps - so this should be possible. 2. why not make a simple installCrossWalk.sh that asks for prefix path, etc. and then just downloads all the needed components? 3. Try to remove the dependency to the Oracle JDK (and ant actually). I know this has probably been done to make things cross platform - but for that we have nodejs with a packaging system and nice scripts where all can be done. Alternatively consider using python for everything. Installing Java from Oracle is like looking 10 years back in time (sorry). 4. After finishing all steps for the xwalk-simple example, I actually got the apk built (great!) and I quickly copied it to my Nexus 4 (fairly upgraded.. 4.4.2 I think) - 20megs.. big for a small "Hello World" but still ok (I am guessing the runtime needs optimizations still on the size?). .. Starting the app gave me the error attached .. and I got no further :-( br Lars --------------------------------------------------------------------- Intel Finland Oy Registered Address: PL 281, 00181 Helsinki Business Identity Code: 0357606 - 4 Domiciled in Helsinki This e-mail and any attachments may contain confidential material for the sole use of the intended recipient(s).
