Hi folks,
No it's not a question :-).
It's very rare for me to message the list when not for a question/answer,
but I managed to compile a Vala source directly to Android binary
yesterday. And I think it might be of some interest to some people here.
For the record, I've written a tutorial here :
http://www.tarnyko.net/en/?q=**node/25<http://www.tarnyko.net/en/?q=node/25>
It's still very limited (only access to core Vala + GLib/Gobject
methods) but it could easily be extended by porting libraries having Vala
bindings ; although I know it's not easy stuff.
For the graphical part, GTK+ doesn't work yet but I know Cairo has been
ported (http://code.google.com/p/**cairo4android/<http://code.google.com/p/cairo4android/>)
-and Cairo definitely has Vala bindings.


Thanks for your contribution. I've reported it here fyi:
