current state of gradle script for Android?

[Tobias Bley]

Hi Tomas,

thanks for your hints.  Where can I find the „FXApplication“ class? There is only a „FXActivity“ and a „VMLauncher“ class…

Could you please give me a hint how to start to build a JavaFX launcher for Dalvik? 

Thanks,
Tobi

I tried to start my activity which extends from FXActivity class in „com.oracle.dalvik“ package. But how do I have to specify the JavaFX application class or main method? How do I have to bind the FXActivity with the JavaFX app (Stage / Application)? Is there any demo code available?
