Hi Michael, could you explain a bit more?. Your idea is about make XML layout for Android based on Falcon?. I don't know to much about native android development but this does not exit yet?
btw, a coworker showed me latest version of JavaFX and I think it would be a good idea for all of us here to see this new version since I think it's very promising. I saw many things copied from flex (skins, skinparts, xml layout declaration, netbeans desing view editor,...). If JavaFx is as good as it seems to be, I think it could be a decent competitor, taking into account that thinks like eclipse, maven and other industrial tools work like a charm in java. 2012/11/14 Gordon Smith <gosm...@adobe.com> > > MXML -> Java Android UI like View and ViewGroup. > > Interesting idea! > > -----Original Message----- > From: Michael Schmalle [mailto:apa...@teotigraphix.com] > Sent: Wednesday, November 14, 2012 2:07 PM > To: flex-dev@incubator.apache.org > Subject: [FALCON] It starts with an idea > > Hey, > > I just wanted to state this in a new thread so others might know my > intentions as a committer for the time being.
