How can I help?

[SeanFelipe]

Hello everyone ... I'm interested in contributing with Ruboto. I've been using Ruby since 2012 / 1.8.7, mostly in a test role ie. writing test scripts in Ruby to run functional test suites against consumer apps. Here's a skeleton example
https://github.com/SeanFelipe/appiumario

I've done various bits and bobs with Android including something like this:
https://github.com/SeanFelipe/supermariodroid

I poked around with Ruboto in 2017/2018, built a little app, want to do more.

My experience with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Jekyll:
Fair amount of react, React Native, css, JS, and my personal blog uses jekyll .Have a bunch more articles i need to write.

My experience using git and GitHub:
Lots and lots. git rebase -i HEAD^^^^

My other interests and passions:
Vim, Emacs, LibGDX, and I was thinking, if we learn about RoboVM then there could be Ruboto -> Android -> ios ???

I would love to see the Ruboto framework grow into something that could compete with React Native.

Thanks !

Hi @SeanFelipe !

Welcome! Can you check out the https://github.com/ruboto/JRuby9K_POC project and see if you can get it running in AndroidStudio in your environment?

Okay a couple issues ...

gradle build is faliing with error: package org.jruby.embed does not exist

Also, ./app/update_jruby_jar.sh is failing, mvn throws an error after downloading a bunch of stuffs. LMK if you'd like that stack trace.

unable to execute update_jruby_jar.sh

Hi!

I've been on vacation. I'll have a look in the next few days.

Hi!

@headius and I are working on Ruboto 2 now, and we have updated the guide in the README to get apps working in Android Studio with JRuby 9.2, JRuby 9.4 in the works.

Give it a try, and give us some feedback 😄
