Go 1.4 now supports Android
- zserge 12y agoThat's definitely good news, but seems like it's far from what was planned for Go support for Android (there was a document on Google Docs about it this summer). They seem to fixed the linker, leaving the networking issues open so far. And I'm not really sure about the *.so generation for Dalvik/ART, Java bindings generator tool and other planned tasks. I saw some mentions in the go.mobile repo a while ago, but this issue still doesn't have a release assigned: https://code.google.com/p/go/issues/detail?id=6342 https://code.google.com/p/go/issues/detail?id=6342
- VeejayRampay 12y agoMore choice, more competition, that's great. Congratulations to all the people who worked hard to make that happen.
- on_and_off 12y agoOne little step. I am all for better tools on Android. I don't think it necessarily means replacing Java, nor that Go would be the only solution but I do think Android development could use some big improvements (in all fairness, the Android Tools Team is bringing more and more cool stuff). If Go is the future of Android though, what we really need is a way to call Android's API from Go.
