Android Support #1

Open Rami-Sabbagh opened 6 years ago

Rami-Sabbagh commented 6 years ago

Hello, First of all, thanks for all of this awesome work !!

Second, is it possible to support Android ? I found some repos that has LuaJava for Android, but you know, it's not maintained, It would be very awesome.

I'm thinking of combining JLua/LuaJava with LÖVE for Android, so super awesome things could be made, making this library very useful

Regards, RamiLego4Game

Hi Rami,

JLua already works with Android (and fully tested). There is even an app that uses JLua as an add-on mechanism: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amnis

I'll try to add compilation instructions for Android to the README file soon.

Question: Is it possible to initialize (load) the library from the Lua side ? and it would hook to the app vm ? or not ?

LÖVE is written in native code, and has luajit running.

No, I'm afraid that's not possible. Currently, the JVM object is passed to the native code that runs JLua. On android, it's impossible create a new JVM object from native code.
