Dear project hosting admins, I'd like to request the name 'simpla' but the name is occupied by a 10 year inactive project in Sourceforge.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/simpla/ (please have a look you can see this project was last active 10 years ago). Ive written several times during the last 14 days to the owner [email protected] (Greg Webster) and requested him to approve that I use this name, but he has not replied. Each time I have CC'ed google-code-hosting- [email protected] but they have not replied at all. Could you please approve my project, or at least confirm that someone have recieved email and will reply with an approval or disapproval in the near future? I'd really like to get started now, after waiting two weeks.... thanks!! Jacob Below is a draft of the project description. Simple coding on Google Android This project enables you to do 'easy Java coding' on the Android platform. As a teacher I started to look at the Android platform for as an exiting new platform for teaching programming. Even if I am experienced programmer and author of 3 Java programming books (http://javabog.dk) I felt the platform was hard to get started with. Ive therefore started to develop a small framework with four purposes: - People who are learning Java can create a program in Android, without too much prior knowledge - Wrapping stuff up so you don't have to care too much about thread safety - To maintain a number of methods with the stuff you would typically want to do (send an SMS, look up an address etc etc) - Experienced programmers can get started with Android with a "soft start" where they can get started and, as they get experience, gradually free themselves from the framework The framework is mainly for teaching basic Java and object oriented programming on an exiting new platform. It is not suitable for effective production code and should probably not be used in any apps distributed on Android Market. It has nothing to do with 'simple' (http://code.google.com/p/simple/ - which is for coding in BASIC on the Android platform), apart from the similarity in the name. The word 'simpla' means 'simple' in Esperanto, an auxilliary and easy to lean language that can be used as a stepping stone to help people get started on foreign language learning. Here is a sample program snippet public class MyProgram extends Program { public void run(Simpla simpla) throws Exception { TextView tv=simpla.createTextView("Hi there"); tv.append("This is a simple test\n"); tv.append("of simpla!"); simpla.setContentView(tv); simpla.sleep(500); simpla.sendSms("26206512", "Hej fra Android SMS-system"); String reply = simpla.showAlertDialog("Do you like cofee?", "yes", "no"); simpla.sleep(5000); simpla.showToast("here is a toast"); simpla.showUrl("http://javabog.dk";); simpla.vibrate(100); -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Project Hosting on Google Code" group.
