Add Groovy support
From @GoogleCodeExporter on May 31, 2015 11:22
It would be great if Groovy could be used for scripting Android apps.
I'm not referring to precompiling Java to class files and retrofitting them
for Dalvik VM, rather the ability to generate Dalvik VM-compatible bytecode
at runtime.

After some googling I've found that among Summer of Code 2009 projects there's
one for porting
Groovy to Android, under the mentorship of non other but Guillaume LaForge:
http://socghop.appspot.com/student_project/show/google/gsoc2009/codehaus/t124022
175510
http://socghop.appspot.com/student_project/show/google/gsoc2009/codehaus/t124022
175372
The results of SoC 2009 projects should be published sometime in October 2009.
Must we wait so long relying on two students? ;-)
One "Groovy on Android" experiment has been done without success "a long time
ago" in November 2007

Its now possible to compile groovy source code on Android so it should be
theoretically possible to use it with ASE. I have not tested it with BSE which i
guess ASE is using.
Is ASE using BSE and is there anything else groovy should be able to do? Just
let me
know and ill get cracking emmediatly :)

Hopefully this isn't a dumb question, but what is BSE?

I meant BSF(Bean Scripting Framework), i think i misread the acronym a bit. No
wonder
it seemed strange :)

BSF works nicely with discobot now(the next realease is a week or so away), so
hopefully it will be possible to use groovy with android scripting in the near
future.

Did anyone tried ?
What is the bottleneck ?

I tried a little.
First get the original binary & source.
http://groovy.codehaus.org/Download
I wrote this sample code and named it "hello_world.groovy"
print 'Hello, Groovy!'
I looked inside the Rhino For Android / BeanShell For Android codes.
It seems to need a REPL command.
Groovy's command is like this in the JVM jar.
>java -cp groovy-all-1.8.6.jar groovy.lang.GroovyShell hello_world.groovy
So I tried to convert it to the Dalvik(dx) jar like this.
>dx --dex --output=c:\..foo..\base\groovy-all-1.8.6-dx.jar
c:\..foo..\groovy-all-1.8.6.jar
And made an interpreter apk from the template from the repo and upload it to my
web space and also made the zip like "groovy_extras_r1.zip",
"groovy_scripts_r1.zip"
(the jar is in groovy folder inside the "groovy_extras_r1.zip")
It get's an error and fails when you excute the "hello_world.groovy".
I think my dx-jar is not good enough. But there must be a way to solve this.
I wrote this because someone could help this issue somedays...
