Can it not run on earlier versions of Android?

Inspired by Marc's iOS Gambit REPL, an alpha Android release and source are available at:

Requires Android 2.2. Comments, criticism, suggestions are welcome.

Thanks to all for a great Scheme environment.

Nice!

Now that Gambit runs on iPhone and Android, someone should get the distributed computing example (examples/distr-comp) working so that it can be demonstrated that a program started on one device can migrate to the other device and even to a desktop machine.  That would be cool!

Hi Steve, No particular reason it shouldn't run on earlier versions…I had a device running 2.2 for which I developed, and don't have easy access to other devices for testing. I just created a version that may work ok for Android 1.6+. The only source change was in an XML file for layout. A download link can be found here: http://apps.keithflower.org/?page_id=152#comment-6 Any feedback you have would be most welcome. Regards, Keith

Thanks, Steve

Probably easiest to just use your phone's browser: browse to the link provided, and click on it. The apk should download, after which (on my phone at least) you will get a notification in the menu bar saying "Download complete". Click on that notification, and it should then ask if you want to install the app.

What version of Android do you have?
