Gideros as an add-in...?

BJG

I expect this is a stupid idea, but I've been wondering if you could imagine using Gideros to deliver just part of an application. For instance, people talk about Android widgets etc. Would it make any sense to think of, say, an Android interface built using XML etc with a Gideros activity...? In other words, do we definitely have to think in terms of adding stuff to Gideros, rather than adding Gideros to other stuff...? I don't know how it all works under the bonnet so perhaps it's not possible to restructure things in this way.

well I can see how you could create a one game scene, where your game actually executes, export it and use as one activity, implementing main screen, menus, etc in other activities in plain Android.
Haven't tried though, but I think it could work

With full project exported to Android Project and plugin from here:

I thinks it is possible! You can call Java from LUA and vice versa.
