Now you can add the Scala programming language to that mix. In this article, see how you can use Scala as the primary development language on Android.

@michaelg,

I think Scala on Android is a wonderful idea. I am an iPhone developer but a newbie to both Java and Android. Though I like developing for iPhone, we don't have choice other than Objective-C. Being able to choose is always a good thing.

Yours is a great article, I just wish there is more info on how to build the Convertor example with Eclipse/ADT/Scala plugins for a newbie like me, ;) . I am trying to follow the direction on
www.scala-lang.org/node/160 , but it might be dated, my eclipse IDE keeps crashing.
