If that is what you're trying to accomplish, perhaps a slightly
different approach would be helpful. While developing the Clojure REPL,
I included a copy of the VimClojure server as part of the app. When the
app starts, I would have it start the server, which would listen on a
TCP port on the phone/emulator. I then used adb to forward a port from
the computer to the VimClojure port on the device.
As a result, I would be able to send expressions from my editor, Vim, to
the device, which would compile and reload them. This does require my
fork of Clojure, as the standard Clojure cannot do dynamic compilation
on Android.
It was still slow in comparison to doing compilation on the computer, a
few seconds or so. However, that's a huge improvement over the standard
compile/redeploy cycle using the standard tools.
I don't know what kind of editor/development environment you prefer, but
a similar approach where you embed a REPL in your application may be the
best for you. The main drawback to this approach is that you will
probably want to remove some of these development dependencies for a
released version of the app.
I hope this helps.
