This should be pretty easy to google and find. If I’m being overly descriptive, it’s because I’ve made all of the mistakes I’m trying to prevent at one time or another.ġ) Download the Android SDK. For the sake of this being a guide for people even less experienced than me, this also assumes that you don’t know some relatively basic things. If you haven’t gotten stuff outside the Market before, use the phone’s web browser to go to that address, save the file, then drag down the dock and tap on the “download complete” message to install it.Ģ) Install Python 2.6: Python For Android available from the link on the right side of the SL4A page on googlecode.ģ) Go to Settings - Applications - Development, and make sure USB Debugging is checked.Ĥ) If it wasn't already, connect the phone to the computer via USB. You can get it from - I don’t think it’s available through the market. I’m sending users to gedit rather than vi, because the GUI is more familiar, comfortable, and meaningful to n00bs.ġ) Install Android Scripting: SL4A. In the meantime, I think this is a good project for someone just starting with Ubuntu and / or Android who is looking to gain a tiny bit of familiarity and comfort with how and when to use the command line, and taking the first tentative steps toward the kind of understanding that will help you to eventually write useful programs. Or if anyone reads this and wants to do that please do. Since the result is a command-line only program on your phone, it’s worth re-writing these instructions in a shorter form for the intermediate user at some point. What I’d like to do here is make this stuff easy to understand to the absolute n00b, because I found it fairly hard, and I’m at least used to the command line. Since I don’t yet know whether this version is capable of syncing with, the only definite advantage this podcatcher has over the popular android podcatchers is that it is Free Software (capitol F for free as in freedom, but this also happens to be free as in free beer). There are instructions out there ( here specifically) for getting gPodder running on an Android phone.Īt this point, what you get is a command-line version.
