Looking to the future (not very far)

 

The Android scripting facility seems to be advancing rapidly.

e.g. http://code.google.com/p/android-scripting/wiki/Tutorials

This provides the ability for a scripting language to get and

manipulate particular sensors etc of an Android device. Javascript is

supported (via Rhino). There are some Javascript examples but most

seem to be python.

 

How cool would it be to integrate barcode scanning, gSensor, compass

etc etc into UniGui applications running on Android tablets / phones ?

 

What mechansims already exist or could be on the cards to make this as

painless for the developer as (the already beuatifully so) current

UniGui ?

A set of 3rd party components can take care of this.

It is possible to inherit custom components from existing Ext JS controls.

Once the JavaScript part of the component is done, it can be integrated into

ExtPascal and eventually into uniGUI. Somthing like what I did for UniCanvas

component.
