MicroPython Forum (Archive)

FYI, I'm working on Android port. Well, actually with this change: https://github.com/micropython/micropyt ... a46d3d6aa0 it just builds with toolchain from NDK and basically works (no testsuite validation performed yet).

This topic is to share the progress of the port, and hopefully we'll provide binaries for Android in the scope of https://github.com/micropython/micropython/issues/1295 .

Very cool! Looking forward to trying it out, when I finally decide on an Android tablet to buy.

If you need a beta tester, I have a Nexus 9 waiting for a MicroPython APK...

Me too!

As of now, all required code changes are merged into mainline. I hope to work on easily accessible build script for Android next. The immediate target is native Linux MicroPython executable, running in Android command line (adb shell). There're no plans for "APK" at this time (well, I already play with one, but it still needs to be run from command line).

That's what I meant with APK. I'm perfectly fine running it from the shell (or a Tasker shell command).

I'm working most of my working hours in a Linux shell, so I completely agree with @mbirth that a simple APK without any UI would be fine for me too.

Ok, Android build script is available in my "cross" branch: https://github.com/pfalcon/micropython/ ... android.sh

Testing and reports are welcome!

Thanks a lot, will try immediately when back at home again!
