[erlang-questions] Erlang/OTP 17.0 and android

[Erik Reitsma]

Hi all,

Sorry for the delay, but I have now packaged 17.0 for Android. You can 
download the .apk from 
http://erlang.ernovation.com/files/Erlang4Android17.0.apk (It is no 
longer allowed to put new binaries on Google Code...) This apk is 
intended to be used with ScriptingLayer4Android (SL4), as before.

You can download the zip file with Erlang itself directly for use 
outside SL4A from http://erlang.ernovation.com/files/erlang_17.0.zip The 
apk will download and install this for you...

I have put the source at https://github.com/Ernovation/otp/tree/master. 
I had to make only some small modifications to handle the different 
location of the shell on Android, all my other modifications had already 
been put into the main OTP repository.

I have removed the android package from the download and into an 
installable library. It now uses the '$handle_undefined_function'/2 
introduced recently, otherwise it works as before. It is an interface to 
the API of SL4A which you can find here: 
https://code.google.com/p/android-scripting/wiki/ApiReference For 
example, you can show some text on the screen by calling 
android:makeToast("some text").

Kind regards,
*Erik.
