WoW this is awesome news Andreas

I guess it's finally time for me to dual boot my HP Touchpad to run WebOS & Android

Isnt this the bestest news of all :) Lets fill in the gap of flash

Due to the multitude of Android devices and the often scarcely documented native development interface of Android

With all due respect there's a lot more documentation on the Android development interface than there is on the Hollywood one!

The time to buy a tablet and enjoy the Hollywood also here.

Hollywood is going to be the very multi platform player

Go On!!!

Any plan to add specific OS4 improvments, gadgets, menu....?

Fantastic. Are there any plans for a plugin to allow compiling for Android ICS ?

I'm talking about the native interface here. Of course, the Java API is documented in every little detail but the native API on the other hand is just a bunch of C headers and you have to figure it out yourself. Hollywood's documentation is almost 800 PDF pages as of now.

Yep good question, even some more love about the video implementation would be good aswell, any video from Hollywood apps are too slow expecially on Sam440ep, see VAMP

Nice.
Now I could prepare presentations at home with Amiga and play them at work by using AV out of my cell phone!

Now... it seems also Meego has been restarted, and they are looking for partners.... perhaps HW could be used as Meego content maker????

Great news! Shame I only got Android v2.1 here on my crappy Sony Experia.

Of course, it goes without saying that women and gender neutral persons don't belong in the target group.

@DJRikki, bit OT but are you sure you can't 'root' it then install gingerbread ?

Maybe jailbreak your xperia. Isnt there newer mod releases for it ?

So as I mentioned on the Video, I assume this means I can run the player on the Raspberry Pi as it is Arm powered. If so I would happily buy Hollywood development system as it will make massive sense and tie together a number of plans I am working on.

Time to upgrade, Galaxy S3?

Good news of a fantastic program!!!!

Congratulations!

I'm glad to see that you finally released a way to run the Hollywood software on Android. I had to test this, so I just made a quick presentation with a navigation-menu, showing some text, photos and playing an ogg vorbis tune in the background.

Pressed Compile, copied the file to my HTC Desire Z, and it worked perfectly! It even autoscales correctly if I rotate the screen.

I'm VERY impressed! Most companies spend a lot of money trying to adapt their software to Android. I manage to compiled our software Dental Info 4.5 within seconds, and it just worked!

With some modifications we can soon release a light-version of our software to our customers :)

Well done Airsoft Softwair! Once again you demonstrate your commitment to the amigascene - you are the best!

I wouldn't know where to start looking how to do this.

Not very likely. Building an *.apk involves several tools from the Java and Android SDK like a keystore generator and a jarsigner. Every *.apk has to be signed with a keystore. Replicating all these things in the cross-platform Hollywood compiler is way too much work. But I might release a package containing the Hollywood Player as a shared object along with a skeleton Android project which would allow users to build their own *.apk based on a Hollywood applet. But you would need Linux, Windows or Mac for that because you need the Java and Android SDK.

"Raise not bells ringing", I have tested some Hollywood programs or applets (.hwa) on an Acer Iconia with Android 4.x and some apps don't run fine for example SirenaPlayer, here the player in Android doesn't support Backgrounds with trasparences for example to Rosalia, and VAMP neither runs, but Bed Games I and BGAMigaPower version you can play perfectly with sound, graphcis, mods and wav and mp3 files, but this games run in a window, well, we can make games for this system and it work very fine in the buttons touching the tactil screen, in this case Andreas and the player are perfect but in the other two player, hum, not.
