My install story with J on Android: My phone is a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (Android Jellybean 4.3).
1. Went to Settings/More/Security/ and checked "Allow install from unknown sources" and unchecked "Block or warn before installing apps that may cause harm" 2. Went to J Software download page. Downloaded 8.01 qtide-signed.apk. The .apk downloaded quickly, and went into the Download folder in the Phone's non-violatle storage (not in my added SD Card) 3. Green J icon appeared in apps window. Pressed and held the J icon, to drop icon on main desktop. 4.Tapped green J icon, got a black screen for a couple of seconds, then got J interactive window. 5. typed 2+2. screen showed 222. Typed i.4. Screen showed I.4 (cap I) 6. Went to Settings/Language & Input/Samsung keyboard setup. Turned off Predictive text. Turned off Auto-spacing. Turned off Auto-capitalization. Turned off Auto-punctuate. 7. Typed 2+2. screen showed 2+2. Typed i.4. Screen showed i.4. Much better. Does J have an alternate keyboard you can install just for J only, so I don't have to keep turning the auto-help stuff on and off? I need a keyboard with the lower case letters, numbers, and punctuation all present & unshifted, with uppercase being the only shift change. 8. Pressed menu button (lower left, below screen). Selected Tools/Package Manager. Selected 'All', Selected 'Install'. Nothing happened. Scrolling through Packages is weird. Rather than the Package list moving with your finger, the list stays stationary, and the highlight moves. You have to run your finger off either end of the list to get the list to scroll. Not very good for a touch-screen UI. 9. I went back to main screen & tried more stuff with primitives. Things seem to be basically working. Came back a few minutes later and tried Package Manager again. This time it showed all packages installed! Need to have a progress indicator somewhere. There was no indication that anything was downloading. 10. Found LaunchPad under Menu/Run. Took me awhile to find it, as I didn't expect it under "Run". There were TWO 'LaunchPad' selections under the Run menu.Both seemed to do the same thing. Both selections gave two choices - qtdemo and wddemo. Most LaunchPad demos seemed to work, both wd & qt. I may have more comments later.
