Android Scripting Using Eclipse
Onur Cinar · Apress eBooks · 2012
Developing a full-scale Android application using the Java programing language may become a big overhead for simple tasks such as automation and prototyping. Android scripting becomes a very handy tool for such simple tasks. Scripting languages support dynamic typing, automatic memory management, and multiple programming paradigms, and they provide an easy programming environment. Compared to Java, scripting languages are interpreted programming that do not require compiling, linking, packaging, and deployment in order to be executed. Scripts are interpreted and executed on the fly as they are typed on a console or read from a script file. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
