>> project setup is straightforward like any other android project. Just create an android project and then copy all from openjfx/build/android-sdk/dalvik/lib into libs and build/android-sdk/rt/lib/ext/jfxrt.jar and armeabi folder again into libs. AndroidManifest.xml needs some additional parameters. Something like this:

>>                         </intent-filter>

It will require to prepare your own fork of openjfx without jdk8 features ( I haven't found any uptodate) + some hacking with class files version because dexer requires jdk6 compatible classes.

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?
