I have an app in mind that will run various python scrpits.
But I have a problem running python scripts from my java code. I tried to use QPython, but I will have to start new intent to run my python code. That's not a problem but I have to close QPython intent manually to receive console output back to my app. That's not go. Also I looked at sl4a and its fork android scripting but I didn't find any examples of how can I do such a thing from my JAVA code. Thanks.

It does exactly what you need but their licensing process is very unfriendly.
I have the same issue and I'm still unable to find another solution, although because of the licensing, I'm not going to use it.
As an idea I'm thinking of making a service completely in python using kivy and all the rest in java, but I can't yet find an example.
There is a sampleproject which shows how to execute python scripts on your android devices.

I have found some ways to using python to build android app.But all of them need to install sl4a and pythonforandroid.
It is so complicated,so is there any way to package sl4a to my android app project,and once I install the apk,I needn't install sl4a any more.
You can use Kivy at following link :
Python for Android
It will can help u have a look to the following topic :
How can I integrate a Python code in the Android Java app?
hope this help you.
You can do this. What it comes down to is packaging the Python interpreter (compiled by the NDK) in your app, and starting it via the standard NDK mechanisms. This is the same thing that e.g. Kivy does, but you'd be adding the code to your own app rather than (like Kivy) using a java bootstrap then letting the Python manage everything else.
One option, which has seen a little discussion/development recently, is to use python-for-android to build all the python components, then copy them into your java project (and add the code to handle it). This is possible, but not currently as easy as it could be, you'd need to look into how it works internally to get the outputs you need.
Another option that is probably easier right now if you don't need compiled code beyond python itself is to directly use the precompiled python binaries of the CrystaX NDK, in which case including the python binaries comes down to only adding them to your Android.mk. You'd still need some C and NDK code to interact with the interpreter, but the process is quite straightforward.
(SL4A has some Android build tools of its own, which you could also use for this, but I don't know what you'd need to do to integrate it as I think SL4A does extra things on top of just having the python interpreter present).
I want to develop an app to track people's Whatsapp last seen and other stuff, and found out that there are APIs out there to deal with it, but the thing is they are writen in python and are normally run in Linux I think
I have Java and Android knowledge but not python, and wonder if there's a way to develop the most of the app in Java and get the info I want via calls using these python APIs, but without having to install a python interpreter or similar on the device, so the final user just has to download and run the Android app as he would do with any other
I want to know if it would be very hard for someone inexperienced as me (this is the 2nd and final year of my developing grade), for it's what I have in mind for the final project, thx in advance
Instead of running it as one app, what about running the python script as separate from the original script? I believe it would bee possible, as android is in fact a UNIX based OS. Any readers could give their input on this idea an if it would work.
I am trying to call up a user defined matlab function(.m file) from java android application which is developed in Eclipse using matlabcontrol.jar.
Actually, It works well when I use it in the java project.
But I wonder is it possible to use it when I develop android application.
The problem is When I use matlabcontrol.jar for java project, it pops up and runs matlab application(like R2009b matlab) automatically, even though I don't want to use it. then run and print result on the matlab console also.
Then, I think, if someone who didn't install matlab application in their computer or smartphone can't use application which is included matlab code.
So, I just want to run matlab code on java program(for android), not using matlab application. Give me option or alternative way to work out please?
Please help.
Thanks.
matlabcontrol just gives you a way to call a running copy of MATLAB from Java. If you have some MATLAB code that you want to run on an Android device, this is not going to work for you, as there is no version of MATLAB that will run on Android.
If you have MATLAB code that you'd like to run as part of an Android application, you have two real choices:
i) Use MATLAB Coder to convert the MATLAB algorithm to C code, that can be compiled, called from Java, and included in your app to run on the device. You'll need to ensure that your MATLAB algorithm falls within the subset of the MATLAB language that is supported by MATLAB Coder, but that usually isn't a big issue. MathWorks have a recorded webinar with a worked example of how to do this (it's Objective C on iPhone rather than Java on Android, but the principles are the same). It's called something like "MATLAB to iPhone made easy", if you want to look it up. Here's the link to it.
ii) Use either MATLAB Builder NE for .NET, or MATLAB Builder JA for Java to deploy your MATLAB algorithm as a web service, and have your Android application call that web service.
PS MATLAB Mobile is not a relevant option here - it is a tool for connecting to a MATLAB session on your machine or in the cloud, and interactively running MATLAB code. It does not give you a way of running MATLAB code on the device itself.
I have a Python script that I just about have perfected.
I had hoped to turn it into Java easily without having to know too much Java, my goal is to make this easily run on Android or iOS.
It is essentially a farming robot for a game I play with a bunch of friends. It is mainly working with Http requests but I know very little Java and I'm having a hard time even getting started. I see how to make a request but dont know enough about Java to decode a JSON return.
Any advice? I had thought about compiling with Jython but I'm not sure that will help me either. Im trying to keep this very simple and not use the Android python scripting which is a pain to setup. I did really want to walk every person through the setup on their phones.

Lately I've been doing a lot of web development on my Droid via ssh using the ConnectBot app and a few other apps for reference. I've also been doing a lot of Android development back home in eclipse, and I wondered: would it be possible to develop and test my android projects right on my phone? All I can do at the moment is either write the code via ssh and then open it later with eclipse to finish it up, or remotely use eclipse via LogMeIn Ignition or VNC. Does anyone know a native way to do what I'm trying to do, preferably offline?
Try AIDE. I use it because it supports Eclipse projects. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aide.ui
Not sure if this hits the target you're looking for, but The Scripting Layer for Android (formerly known as the Android Scripting Environment) is available and has a lot of power available to it.
Scripting Layer for Android (SL4A,
formerly known as Android Scripting
Environment or ASE) brings scripting
languages to Android by allowing you
to edit and execute scripts and
interactive interpreters directly on
the Android device. These scripts have
access to many of the APIs available
to full-fledged Android applications,
but with a greatly simplified
interface that makes it easy to get
things done.
Scripts can be run interactively in a
terminal, in the background, or via
Locale. Python, Perl, JRuby, Lua,
BeanShell, JavaScript, Tcl, and shell
are currently supported, and we're
planning to add more. See the SL4A
Video Help playlist on YouTube for
various demonstrations of SL4A's
features.
I found DroidScript. It's a quite powerful JavaScript interpreter thats based on the Rhino-library. It can import every Java-package and even create activities for starting from the launcher. The URL is http://droidscript.se for the Live-Editor with which you can edit scripts online and send them to your phone, and the droidscript-app has an editor, too but it cant save at the moment, i think. DroidScript is Open-Source and embeddable in an own app, I think. More info on news of DroidScript are found on droidscript.blogspot.com.
check out JAVAIDEDROID on the market
You can if you have a remote linux machine that you normaly develop on.
ssh into the machine with some ssh app.
edit the code with some console text editor (vim for example).
build the application with ant
copy the generated apk into the android phone and install it
repeat from point 2.
Good luck!
I really don't know if it's possible, but to do it, you should:
"Install" java inside Android.
"Install" ant
run ant debug

PS: Please let us know if you could do it :)
