[please use jmol-developers list for this sort of programming question] Not a bad start at all, Chance!
What errors are you getting in the Android console? Those should point you
in the direction of what is going wrong. Unfortunately, in moving to
Windows 8 on a new computer, I have lost the capability to debug Android
apps. However, what you have done is almost reasonable. I've checked in a
modification to Platform.java that is a bit better -- changing Point3f to
P3 and adding the necessary new parameter to allocateRgbImage.
Sounds like you have the requisite Jmol project checked out as well. Right?
So you have two projects in your workspace:
Jmol
JmolAndroid
?
