Harbour on Android

[Roberto Lopez]

Has anyone successfully created a Harbour app for Android?

I want to start experimenting with it and any information could help.

TIA.

Thanks to all for the info.

I'll start with Harbour console and then explore options for GUI.

I'm playing with an interesting toy for android ('RFO BASIC') that uses HTML files as GUI. This is an interesting idea and is implemented in an extremely easy way. If some like that could be done for Harbour, could be a nice solution.

RFO Basic is a nice language to approach Android. I had used it before.

The problem is HTML forms designed using RFO are not rendered same in different devices. Some of the controls are overlapped.

Theoretically, you could use any standard HTML file. Even one using jQuery Mobile. JQM should work well in any device and/or screen orientation.

I've posted the following message in Harbour Users Group too:

Hi All,

I'm experimenting with Harbour on Android thanks to the Giovanni Di Maria tutorial.

Its plain and easy to make it work. The problem is the lack of a GUI (I'm looking for an alternative to QT).

There is a nice app for Android called 'RFO BASIC'. It can handle GUI via HTML.

The approach is very simple:

1. Invoke Android web browser, showing an HTML file with our user interface.
2. Wait for an event comming from browser using a loop.
3. Whenn the event arrives, process the message (being the most relevant, pressing the 'submit' button in the HTML form.

The RFO Basic code looks like this:

Code: Select all

html.open
html.load.url "file:///sdcard/rfo-basic/data/myform.html"
do
    html.get.datalink data$
until data$ <> ""
data$ = mid$(data$,5)
print "Form data: "+data$

So, theoretically, we only need few new harbour functions to achieve this (equivalent to html.open, html.load and html.get.datalink in RFO BASIC).

So, the problem is how to interface our Harbour application with Android API. There is any information, documentation or examples about this topic?

TIA.

Roberto,

I'm very interested in this issue but I know nothing about it, so I can't help you!
