Rhino running on Android

[Hannes Wallnoefer]

I just wanted to drop a note that I got Rhino working on Android SDK.
Here's how:

1) Remove *PropertyListener* methods from src/org/mozilla/javascript/
Context.java - java.beans.PropertyChangeListener is not available on
Android.

2) Run ant jar to build js.jar

3) Set max heap space for dx tool to 1 gig (change javaOpts="" to
javaOpts="-Xmx1g" in android-sdk/tools/dx)

4) run the following commands to convert the classes for the Dalvik
VM, start the Android emulator, upload the jar file and start the
Rhino shell:

dx --dex --output=classes.dex js.jar

aapt add js.jar classes.dex

emulator &

adb push js.jar /data/rhino/js.jar

adb shell

cd /data/rhino/

dalvikvm -classpath js.jar org.mozilla.javascript.tools.shell.Main

INFO: Default buffer size used in BufferedReader constructor. It would
be better to be explicit if a 8k-char buffer is required.

js> var x = 123;

js> x

123

I haven't had the opportunity to test this on a real device, but I'll
bug my co-worker who just gut a T-Mobile G1 tomorrow.
