I wrote a couple of test android apps in scala and was very pleased with the results. Scala is a huge improvement on java but gives you nearly the same execution speed which is particularly important on devices with limited CPU and RAM. There's a plugin for sbt (a scala build tool) that will assemble your .apk and upload it to the emulator or a device.

- int_main_void 16y agoThanks for the links. It looks like scala is the most viable option currently, but a few others exist as well. I will probably doodle in scala later this week and see what I can make of it.
