Starting out with Androidscript

It's great to have access to android devices like my phone and tablet but I always feel a bit naked if I have a device that I can't program in some fashion.

My Tesco hudl tablet is not rooted because I like it to run some apps that do not work on rooted devices.

What I need is a useful scripting/profiling app that will allow me to grow with it later.
So I came across Androidscript which fits the bill nicely.

It does use javascript as its native language but I can live with a less formal structure and it's always fun to try to delve into a language I've only used very casually before.

Androidscript itself still shows signs of being new. The documentation still has some growing to do and it lacks an apk packager (which will hopefully be available eventually in a pro version) but it suits me fine as it is for now.

 This posting shows all the code it takes to create the simple app pictured below whichs accepts input of a phrase, then spells it out aloud in the NATO alphabet.



I don't think I'm anywhere near ready to post a tutorial on using Androidscript yet but I hope I'll be able to do so in the future.
