This page to collect information about the interest of the community to combine development effort to get tcl/tk on Android platform.
Why do we need this tcl/tk on Android?
It's becoming a huge platform:
We have
| Mobile phones |
| Cheap Tablets less then 80 euros |
| In the near future android in TV-sets |
| A projector already exists with Android inside. |
| ... |
Tcl/Tk isn't available on these platforms.
People have no problems to install apps. So they migrate away from webcentric which is great for tcl/tk.
What is already available to us: We have jtcl and hecl to start from. My feeling is Hecl is the most closely what we need/want but isn't 100% compatible. A wrapper should be added to Hecl to add TK syntax.
Please add yourself to following table if you are interested to help to get development forward.

chw: What about porting Tcl/Tk native on Android? There's an SDL port for Android on http://libsdl-android.sourceforge.net and there's a SDL backend for Tk on http://wiki.tcl.tk/4607 .
