10:46 <Zireael07> Hi Alex (abu), I was wondering if PicoLisp can do Android API things like vibration or keyboard IME? currently prototyping in HTML/JS :P but I can't do real input there (and vibration is limited)

10:47 <abu[7]> Hi Zireael07

10:47 <abu[7]> You mean in PilBox?

10:47 <abu[7]> Most things can be done

10:49 <abu[7]> Keyboard IME probably not, it needs a special App setup I think

10:50 <abu[7]> But sounds, vibrations, alarms are no problem

10:51 <abu[7]> E.g. the alarm clock in https://software-lab.de/wecker.zip

10:51 <Zireael07> yeah, via PilBox

10:52 <Zireael07> looks like I'll just dig into Penti source then, I can grok some basic Java... though I prefer Kotlin. the real pain is the SDKs and whatnots

10:53 <abu[7]> No need for Java, for PilBox you code it all via Lisp functions

10:57 <abu[7]> To play 5 tones: http://pb1n.de/?f29d98

11:47 <Zireael07> abu, I want to create a custom keyboard/input method for android, tones are just a form of feedback to the user

11:52 <abu[7]> I think this is not possible with PilBox. A keyboard must be a special app of class InputMethodService, and installed into the System explicitly

11:54 <Zireael07> that's a bummer, I gotta look at how Penti was done then
