Documentation ?

[jumjum123]

I came to this app from Bangle.js kickstarter project.

Droidscript is mentioned there, and there is also an extension for Puck, another kickstarter from same guy (Gordon Williams)

Unfortunally I cannot find helpful documentation.

On homepage are only some not very helpful examples in tutorial.

Javascript documentation includes basic javascript commands, nothing dedicated to Droidscript.

News on homepage are very, very old, latest is from 2016

For Droidscript are some extensions on play.google.com, but I cannot find any documentation or pricing.

Found something about premium support, once again without pricing or anything else.

Mailed to support at droidscript, but got nothing back. 

What did I miss ?

DroidScript is an Android app providing a general purpose environment for building Android apps.

It offers a JavaScript coding front end which calls a framework of objects using a mainly Java back end to control Android.

Coding can be done directly in the DroidScript app on a phone or tablet or from a Browser on a PC etc. connected to the device by WiFi to provider a richer coding environment.

If you install DroidScript, you will have access to the best docs but a version of those docs can be seen at https://alex-symbroson.github.io/Docs/

DroidScript allows you to control many aspects of your phone, tablet or Chromebook for free but some more advanced features require plugins or a Premium subscription.

Some plugins are totally free. Others are free if you have a premium subscription.

The menu in DroidScript will show you the prices of plugins and subscriptions. They vary from country to country.

There is also a wiki at https://wiki.droidscript.me.uk/ which used to be the best source of information but the built-in docs have now far outstripped it.

To be honest, I wrote the above in reply to your email to sup...@drpidscript.org

When I looked for that today, I found it in my drafts folder.

It appears I saved it while I fetched the Google Play URL to download DroidScript and was somehow distracted.

The url is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartphoneremote.androidscriptfree

To clarify.... you need to install DroidScript on your Android phone, tablet or Chromebook, then you need to install the PuckJs plugin (from the DroidScript menus).  

You will have access to all the docs there too.  Once you have DroidScript installed you can choose to code directly on your mobile or using a laptop/PC via wifi in a browser.

For the Bangle demo project look in the 'News' section of the DroidScript menus where there is a link to the project. (DroidScript projects are packaged into .spk files)

All this can be done for free :)

@Steve, @Dave

thanks a lot for your feedback. I will take a closer look next days.

It's challenging to create helpful information and keep it up to date. Homepage is usually first contact for users.

If you try to sell something, people like to know what they get and how much they've to pay.
