datatonic / android-scripting Goto Github PK

Hi,

I tryed to run ASE on emulator, but it does not work. A message in a dialog
appears : "Sorry! Activity ASE(in applicaton ASE) is not responding"

- I downloaded source code with following command in a terminal:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ svn checkout http://android-scripting.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
android-scripting-read-only
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

- I downloaded android source like it is explained in 
http://source.android.com/download

- I downloaded android sdk from :
http://developer.android.com/sdk/1.5_r2/index.html 

- I compiled android source
- I run ./fix_android_sdk.py on android source (myandroid folder) and
android sdk (android-sdk folder)
----------------------------------------------------------
./fix_android_sdk.py ../../myandroid ../../android-sdk
----------------------------------------------------------

- I included ASE project in eclipse with 'import' -> 'existing project into
workspace'

- I change build path to integrate TTS_library_stub_1.4_market.jar

When I run it, in Logcat, I have the following error message : 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Reading entry res/raw/bsh.zip failed
Failed to extract entry
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /data/data/com.google.ase/bsh.zip

...
----------------------------------------------------------------------

In addiction, when I click on list item, nothing happen.

Is my procedure wrong?

Thanks for your help.

Cecilia

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
A link somewhere to the correct TTS library, even if it's a link on the help 
wiki.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.5, T-Mobile G1 (HTC Dream)

Please provide any additional information below.

It's not obvious which TTS library needs to be installed. More than one 
possible solution shows up when searching for "TTS", and the correct solution  
does not explicitly say "TTS" in the name.

Please add load and save function to load ad save all script files of ASE
on /sdcard

Thanks you very much

Perl is the script language which has been ported to most modern platforms.

Android should be included http://perldoc.perl.org/perlport.html#PLATFORMS

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.

The binaries have already been stripped and are built with -Os. The pure
Python libraries are compressed pyc files. There's probably still more that
can be done to reduce the overall size.

When running a script in a terminal, if the orientation changes. the
terminal will be restarted and the script will be run again.

It is possible to send SMS'es from Python, but it is not possible to make a
phone call. Please extend the library.

It would be useful for scripts to be able to parse any extras provided with
the intent that launched them.

1. Run a script w/o a terminal window

2. Run a script from a desktop shortcut directly

This should be possible with Rhino.

This is useful for Locale's default settings configuration. It would be
possible to write a lua script to do this easily (it has a killallmine
function already defined in the android package).

Since installation detection is very naive, the "installing beanshell"
spinner always shows up for an instant.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. run sayweather.py in the UK
2. if postcode has a space ie "EH1 1" urllib fails

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?


Please provide any additional information below.
easily fixed by editing line 34 to escape the spaces:
- url = WEATHER_URL % (location, hl)
+ url = WEATHER_URL % (location.replace(' ','%20'), hl)

Currently this is rather difficult. Storing libraries and such on the SD
card would make it easier. Or, maybe just allow imports from the SD card?

The intent is for the service notification to persist as long as the
service is running.

Currently, user created scripts are deleted when ASE is uninstalled. Script
should probably be stored on the SD card and persisted instead.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Installing ASE
2. Running ASE
3. Selecting scriptsaytime.py

What is the expected output?
Presumably it should speak the time.

What do you see instead?
Blue shell, error message "Could not find platform independent 
libraries...TTS not installed"

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Using an HTC Magic, Android OS Vanilla Revision 1.5.


Please provide any additional information below.

Include in the documentation a QR code link to make it easier to get the
apk, like the one here:
http://phandroid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/qrase.png

It would be super nice if there was a way of programmatically listing what
RPC calls are available. For instance,
http://code.google.com/p/android-scripting/source/browse/trunk/python/ase/androi
d.py
does not list a "speak" method, and yet __getattr__ catches it and makes it
function as if it exists.

The dir() method in python is super useful. I don't know that you want to
modify it's behavior, but it would be nice if there was a way of querying
for a list of all available RPC calls.

Scripts should be able to work like normal activities that can have a result.

It would be good to at least link to the project wiki inside ASE.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open Python terminal
2. Menu -> Preferences -> Font size / Colors
3. Change font size and colors
4. Back to terminal

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Larger font size and different color.
The font size and color is not changed.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
ASE 0.7 alpha,
ADP1, Firmware 1.5, Kernel version 2.6.27-00393-g6607056

Please provide any additional information below.
I had also installed "Terminal Emulator", and I can change font size as well.

ASE should ship with some reference or way of easily discovering the APIs
on the phone.

This should be possible with http://www.caucho.com/resin-3.0/quercus/

Importing termios fails.

Ideally this will be CPython, cross-compiled for Android.

Save a script with no file extension.

http://groups.google.com/group/android-scripting/browse_thread/thread/cc55a44668
a09345#

There should be a place on this site where people can download/share other
people's scripts. Perhaps the moderator can post some good ones.

Compass data is not returned from the sensors API.

This may require an API change that separates starting from speaking so the
prompt to install can be enabled.

Either JRuby or a cross-compiled Ruby for Android would work. An interface
to the AndroidProxy is already written for use with a cross-compiled version.

Along with the save button, there should be a "save and run" button that drops 
you back into the 
editor after executing the current code.

The 0.2 alpha of ASE is 4+MB due to the addition of Python. This could
conceivably double with the addition of Ruby. Instead of distributing ASE
with all scripting languages, it makes more sense for the user to be able
to download the interpreters they like from within the application.

What about perl support...?
If you'd give me pointers how to put Perl in this app I can have a look at
it...

It should be possible to invoke scripts when certain events occur (like
receiving an SMS, email, or phone call).

Since ASE basically is an advanced terminal emulator, it might as well
expose a standard terminal.

i just want python in android.

This probably has to do with the piped streams.

When creating a new script, it would be nice to be prompted which language
to create it for and then insert default content.

When creating a script, it's not obvious what the text boxes are for.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open the Python interpreter
2. Type in help(<favorite_method_name>)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to see helpful and friendly Python help. I see an error instead:
IOError: [Errno 2] No usable temporary directory found in ['/tmp',
'/var/tmp', '/usr/tmp', '/']
Is this circumventable by having some config option to the tempfile module,
or by mounting a tmpfs?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
ase-0.7 alpha, t-mobile g1 1.5

Please provide any additional information below.
Yeah, I actually use this method quite a bit. Python's introspection
features make learning a new lib or API much less like crawling around in
the dark, even if many of the calls are just caught by __getattr__.

It should be possible to handle incoming calls and SMSes with ASE. Current
libraries do not support either functionality, which is pretty critical to
the functioning of a phone. Please extend ASE to support this feature.

This seems possible with the Lua library. Please add the same feature for
Python.

Currently a script terminal stays open even after the scripts exits (which
is often desirable). It would be nice to have an ability to make the
activity exit.

It would be nice to split the daemon package and the language support packages.

I, for one, have debian installed and already running a python environment
with many extensions installed. I'd prefer to install just the "service"
part of ASE, copy android.py to my site-packages directory and integrate it
into existing scripts  I'd keep ASE running on a fixed port and start
modifying existing scripts to utilize the ASE service.

For the same reason, I'd make the AP_PORT user-configurable (choose between
having a fixed port or a random one selected by bind as it is now).

It's probably not necessary to run the interpreters in a shell.

Locale has a developer API (http://www.twofortyfouram.com/developer.html)
and would make an excellent platform for automatically executing scripts.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. installed .apk on android emulator
2. hit ase icon
3. choose any example or choose terminal

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
python,lua,bean shell/terminal excuted
instead, just get a blank screen on emulator.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
ase-0.7 alpha, eclipse 3.4, android develop tools 0.9.1 on gentoo linux.
