New in Sugarizer 0.8 for Android is "Sugarizer OS". Sugarizer OS is a 
way to use Sugarizer as your Android Launcher on the device. So you 
could have the same experience with Sugarizer on your 
tablet/smartphone that you've got with Sugar on the XO laptop. More 
specifically, Sugarizer OS features are:


  * Directly boot the device on Sugarizer home view (no more Android
stuff)
  * Full features and activities of Sugarizer (Sugarizer and Sugarizer
OS share the same code)
  * Include both Sugarizer activities and Android applications in your
home view using favorites feature
  * Launch Android applications from Sugarizer home view
  * Journal will trace both Sugarizer and Android application launch
  * Launch Android settings from the Sugarizer settings dialog
  * Manage WiFi connection from the Sugarizer neighborhood view (like
in Sugar)

With Sugarizer OS, Sugar on Android is now a reality: enjoy the 
experience and spread the world with Sugarizer !




I am wondering where the Android applications come from. Can you give 
some examples?

Any Android applications could work into Sugarizer OS.
Two applications that we love here:
- GCompris: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.gcompris
- ScratchJR:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.scratchjr.android

The idea of Sugarizer OS is to mix Sugarizer activities with Android
application that you love and that you can't find in Sugarizer.

But of course it's also a good opportunity to integrate "standard"
application like Chrome or Google Play into Sugarizer so you could launch
it without leaving Sugarizer.

Thank you for answering.
But let me ask a following question because I do not use Android.
The web-addresses of the exemplary applications are beginning with " 
play.google.com/store/apps/ ". As far as I know, this is the web-address 
of the Google Play Store and someone must have Google Play installed 
already to get access to it.


The reason for my astonishment is that I have the impression somehow 
that Sugarizer OS or even Sugarizer is not bound to the goals of the 
Free Software Foundation (FSF) and comparable open source movements anymore.



Nevertheless, it is an interesting work.

Lionel,

Congrats.

Quick question: What is the procedure for an app developer to get a new
version into your distro? Turtle Blocks has made many advances since the
version you package.

[Lionel Laské]

Thanks all.

@Walter, PR is the best way.
More precisely: clone Sugarizer, replace Turtle Blocks code by the new one,
if possible test on all browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, EDGE) to ensure
portability on all devices, then PR.

 Lionel.

OK. Will do. FWIW, Tymon just fixed a bug that was causing issues on touch
devices so it should be a win for Sugarizer.

Hi Steve,

Yes, unfortunately EToys could have some limitation because it need to load
a full VM to run, it's why it not appear as favorite by default.
I'm CC'ed Bert that could help you on it.

Hi Caryl,

The WebView integrated in Jelly Bean - alias Android 4.3 - has a poor
support of HTML5/JavaScript.
It's why unfortunately, I can't guaranty a good Sugarizer compatibility
under Android 4.4 on all activities.
Here [1] a graphic of Android version distribution, Android 4.3 and lower
is still at 15%.

Best regards.

Lionel.

Re: [IAEP] [UKids] Re: [Sugar-devel] [Announcement] Sugarizer v0.8 is available for your device

[Lionel Laské]

Hi Samson,

Strange. Did you give authorization to install APK from unknown source in
your Android settings [1] ?
Because the Sugarizer OS APK is not deployed on Play Store yet - because
still in beta -, you need to allow unknown source to install it.

Best regards.

   Lionel.

 Thanks all.

 @Walter, PR is the best way.
 More precisely: clone Sugarizer, replace Turtle Blocks code by the new
 one, if possible test on all browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, EDGE) to
 ensure portability on all devices, then PR.
