Reading through earlier posts it seems as though one or two people had some success at running Fantom on Android with a view to being able to build the application gui in Fantom. Unfortunately all of the discussions I have seen on the topic tail off without a clear outcome. The most promising seemed to be using a FanActivity class to subclass the Java activity in order to coerce Android into playing nicely with it (topic #1397). I have a couple of projects coming up that could make excellent use of this capability so the question is does anyone monitoring this list have any knowledge of the topic that they would be willing to share?

I think the core problems with the class format were solved - I can't remember, there was something fishy about using invokespecial as a nonvirtualinvoke.
Assuming that, then I think it just a question of putting some nice APIs into place. Fantom was definitely designed to run in embedded devices (we run it on a quite a few different embedded headless devices)
