After spending a couple of days dealing with Android NDK madness, some esoteric and intricate Linux implementations on this device, I finally got node js latest to run as a native app on Android.
I was planning to originally run a v8 client on Android so I started with the v8 port. That one was easy. However, when I realized how much benefits node brings to any JavaScript development, and not only server side, it was obvious that the rest of the stack needed to be ported. I did some research, hoping someone had gone thru the hoops already. But all I could find was a direct port done on Linux arm and running with root privilege. I couldn't adopt this approach because my ultimate goal is to deliver JavaScript apps running on standard phones and available on Android market. Now that I am done with the initial port, my next task is to clean up the codebase, refine some of the plug-in native bindings, fix a bunch of remaining specific issues (e.g. fs, console, ipv6, etc…) and post the result of this work on github (ldesegur/nodejs-android.) Let me know if you have any interest. I would certainly appreciate any help on this project. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
