I don't do Android. I don't like Android. I even used FirefoxOS so I could have small phone... with no Android.

Android is not evil, compared to usual closed-source stuff. But it is ... quite bad compared to average open-source software, and claims to be open-source.

But I believe Python scripting is still needed, and I wrote required glue... so you don't have to. You should now be able to run Python scripts on Android, with access to screen, touch input, audio support and even camera.

Now, don't expect miracles. Android is still bad system. Linux/Phosh should be better, as would be MicroPythonOS. Porting MicroPythonOS (and thus LVGL) to Android would be better solution, but I'm afraid I'd need to be Android programer for that. With current setup, don't expect frames-per-second when doing fullscreen animations.

Still, long time ago there was sl4a (Scripting languages for Android) and it was very useful for simple things. Biggest limit was that sl4a could not access screen and get touch input. You can now do both, but not very fast.
