Spin development on Android

Ha,

I finally got homespun working under android (you need to be rooted) :
1 Download "Mono" from the market a testing version made available by Koushikdutta of CWM fame)
The first time you run it it will complain about a missing file. open a terminal, goto /data/app
and remove the -1 from the missing file (you will find these comments as well in the review for the mono app)
2 Download homespun from here: http://forums.parallax.com/showthread.php?106401-Homespun-Spin-compiler-0.31-Now-with-elseifndef&highlight=homespun
3 And run it, sofar it will only work when running mono from the 'mono' directory
/data/data/com.koushikdutta.mono

There are several code editors available for Android, I have used both Jota and Touchqode.
Couple of things left to do:
1 write a shellscript to easily invoke homespun
2 Get spinsim to work on Android (need to get the NDK installed first :)
3 get a prop downloader to work under Android. I remember there was a python version somewhere on the forum
(you can install a python interpreter via SL4A :)

I'll keep you all posted on any progress :)

    Fantastic. I am not quite prepared to root my Xoom just yet but I know it has been done successfully :)

    A bluetooth downloader would now be a boost. I have a microSD in the xoom that will also work for me.
