Getting started

SL4A ApiReference is your friend : http://code.google.com/p/android-scripting/wiki/ApiReference

The real time ways (no more install, no SDK, nothing required)

1. Add/Edit PHP scripts on your mobile

SL4A allows you to add or edit scripts on your mobile.

2. Use testnow.php

“allow_url_include” is On by default so you can include your code easily.
Include your own internet publicly available script. You'll find an already installed php script called “test.php”:

<?php
require_once("Android.php");
include("http://phpforandroid.net/files/testnow.php.txt"); // ".txt" extention required to prevent parsing

TODO Tell about remote, using SDK…
