Hi Steve,
You have 2 ways: a) Java JNI -> C -> Scheme b) Using Android Native Activity and the NDK for developing in C.
I've been tweaking and extending Blackhole to play nicely with Android, but I found a major limitation in Blackhole that prevented from totally achieving it without getting into the macro-expansion part of BH (don't have time for that) and so I decided to use plain Gambit. This is an example using option "a" https://github.com/seoushi/gambit-android-example I've made it work with option "b", is quite simple, but at the moment I'm messing around with that code so is not working: https://github.com/alvatarc/bh-android-template
Soon (1-2 weeks, as soon as I have some spare hours) I'll have the same code working again Scheme. It is quite straightforward though, once you have that example.

I understand that Android apps are typically written in Java. How then is Gambit able to run on that platform? If it is possible to write GUI apps for the Android using Gambit, are there any pointers on how to get started?
Thanks, Steve
