.. _Android:
Platform-specific instructions: Android
=======================================
Introduction
------------
With Python and Pygame being ported to Android (`PGS4A`_), it is in principle
possible to use Expyriment on Android devices, however, without OpenGL support.
This can be achieved by compiling Python, Pygame and Expyriment into a Java
app, using `PGS4A`_.
For ease of use, we provide the "Expyriment Android Runtime", an Android
application which can be used to directly run experiments on an Andoroid device
(with Android > 2.2).
Installing Expyriment
---------------------
The easiest way to run experiments on Android devices is to use our "Expyriment
Android Runtime" appplication.
You can only download the current version from our `Android download
page`_. In the future it will also be available in the Google Play
Store.
Installing Expyriment scripts
-----------------------------
Once installed, the application will look for Expyriment scripts (each in its own
subdirectory) in a directory called 'expyriment', located at the root level of
either storage device under 'mnt' (i.e. the internal or external SD card).
Examples of correctly located Expyriment scripts include:
/mnt/sdcard0/expyriment/exp1/exp1.py
/mnt/sdcard0/expyriment/exp2/exp2.py
/mnt/extSdCard/expyriment/exp3/exp3.py
/mnt/extSdCard/expyriment/exp4/exp4.py
Notes
-----
**Extra plugins not supported**
The current version of the "Expyriment Android Runtime" does not support extras plugins.
