What Hacker News says
3 sourcesI skimed quickly through the project
https://github.com/jeapostrophe/racket-android
Basically by doing what everyone that isn't using Java, is forced to do.
They have a JNI layer that translates a few calls from Java into the Raket side, and also start a Raket interpreter from C, controlled via JNI.
For anything GUI related, OpenGL seems to be the only thing integrated.
One thing that I learned playing with the NDK, is that if one isn't writing games or porting business logic from other platforms, it isn't worth the trouble of struggling with JNI for normal apps.
