My notes on trying to "port" midp-calc to Android. I don't know whether I'll have the time to do it, and how difficult it will be. It certainly wouldn't be a direct port: my strategy will be to design the user-interface (because it will be different: it won't use buttons and a joystick) and then move the code that does the midp-calc genius into it.

I'm running Ubuntu Oneiric, and I've started off by downloading the linux ADT bundle from the Android website. I also downloaded the midp-calc source and the source of a small Android calculator project.

From a quick look around, I see only one java program in the small Android calc, and a complete structure in midp-calc. I think I might not get enough direction from the Android program, but let's first see what I can build.

If I ever achieve anything worthwhile, I'll move this to my blog, but for now I'm just using this as a scratchpad in case I forget something later.
