NDK example #6

It would be great if this included a directory with everything needed to build an Andoid apk package, that contains a Haskell hello world example that somehow gets run. This would be a good starting point for haskell users to start doing Android app development.

It might be possible to use the FFI to build the haskell code into a shared library, and then use the NDK to make the Android app's java code call into it.

That’s exactly what I’m working on right now. :-D Hopefully I’ll get something working and in a presentable state this weekend.

Yeah, that would be killer!

I have uploaded a very basic example of an Android Activity written in Haskell. It is called android-haskell-activity. You will also need my other module foreign-jni.

Have fun!
