* Basic idea is to use dynamic class loading.
* Current approach still includes class in dex file, so must be built in Android project directory.
* Sample Hello.java Android application: Hello
* Sample LoadIt.java class loader: LoadIt
* Sample student MyProject.java file: MyProject
* Next tasks are to:
* Rewrite sample code above to improve communication between controlling class and loaded (student) class. Use interface?
* Split student source code out from Android project dir…text/html2009-10-22T07:47:46-05:00Tim Korbandroid:myproject - created

ADB on Linux
The steps for setting up ADB on Linux are detailed here, but if problems arise, the following is a more complete installation for a general Linux distribution (tested under Debian Lenny).
* In a terminal, type the following to get the current kernel version:

Android was not designed to work on Solaris/SunOS. However, the Linux distribution of Android can be used to create a workable environment for Android. Both the emulator and the adb shell (including usb compatibility) are not currently supported. However, the android.jar tool used to create and compile projects can be configured to run properly and create .apk files from source. Compatibility with the eclipse ADT plugin has not currently been tested but is unlikely.
