Re: programming/scripting on an Android device - suggestions ?

Dave,
 

Years ago I used SL4A, Py4A to run Python scripts on Android but
I don't think it has worked for several years:
<https://github.com/kuri65536/sl4a>

 
Hmmm.. while googeling I also found it, and an APK to it.  But as it
presented itself as a layer upon which scripting interpreters could be
installed (read: it doesn't offer any scripting capabilities itself) I
decided to see if simpler solutions where available.

PY4A - Python for Android - ran on SL4A. But I suspect you need an
 old version of Android to run it.

I see the ex-maintainer mentions using termux:
<https://github.com/kuri65536/sl4a/issues/50>

 
Thats a +1 for termux I guess. :-)
 

These days I use Kivy but I develop on a Linux PC and build
an Android apk.

 
I also encountered that one, but its what I'm trying to evade, having to use
a PC.   You see, I don't think that my old 'puter running XP (or a single
other one running Win7) wil be able to run stuff like that.
 
Any ideas about using a Raspberry Pi for it ?

The documentaion is extensive but cryptic!

I build and initially test on Linux, but you have to allow for the
 different display size/resolution. A proper keyboard and screen
 is the important thing.

Whether kivy is for you depends what you want to build.

... it's not it the playstore

 
I have absolutily zero problems with staying outof googles garden.

It was just an example. I'm using a standard in-support tablet here.

They may call pydroid an IDE, btw, but I'm pretty sure you can run
 scripts developed outside it. QPython was like that.
