Scott,<br><br>We actually are supposed to have two chapters on the subject. One was about using WebKit in an Activity. That chapter is so far unfinished. I had suggested to the author that he bundle this as an example:<br>

That chapter is finished and published:<br>

Your examples look like something I shouldn't try out at work, but promising.<br><br>James Simmons<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jan 9, 2013 at 4:27 PM, C. Scott Ananian <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:cscott@laptop.org" target="_blank">cscott@laptop.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

In the latest <i>Make Your Own Sugar Activities!</i> we'll have chapters on making Activities using HTML 5. You can put HTML 5 inside a simple Python Activity wrapper using WebKit. You could take the same HTML 5 and create an Android app using Phone Gap. So you could have a certain number of Activities that run on both platforms.</blockquote>

Can the Sugar Activities be ported to Android or is it back to the beginning? Would it be better to concentrate on just producing quality educational Activities, leaving the desktop unaltered on the tablet?<br></div></div>
