Can I use other JVM languages besides Java (e.g. jruby, jython, clojure) to program for android, or is it java only?
There was a similar question asked over a year ago but I wasn’t sure if there’d been any change since then.
Check out these links:
However, I am unaware of any prominent applications that have been coded in any of these languages. The examples I’ve seen fall more into the “proof of concept” category. While the cool factor is high, I still don’t see these languages as a viable tool for serious Android developers. I’d love to see someone prove me wrong though!
It seems like Scala is the closest to getting there right now.
