| Deelang |
DeeLang is a lightweight, embeddable, dynamically-typed scripting language
for Java that is intended for use in user-scriptable applications in limited resource environments, and especially for Android devices.
Currently DeeLang provides an ANTLR 3 based parser and two compiler
back-ends: a DEX compiler that compiles to Dalvik bytecode for use in Android environments, and a custom-bytecode compiler (compiling to a format that is not dissimilar to, although far simpler than, that used by the Java(tm) Virtual Machine).
The DEX bytecode runs on any Android device against a very small runtime
library, while the custom bytecode option is used with the (provided) stack-based virtual machine and runtime to execute compiled scripts on any Java-compatible device.
The current total deployment size of DeeLang is under 1MB (including ANTLR
runtime). When used on Android, it adds ~300k to your APK size.
As well as being lightweight, DeeLang is designed for use in user-scripted
applications by those with little programming experience, and as such has a natural syntax and aims to be as easy to use as possible. |

| SignPost |

http://code.google.com/p/oauth-signpost/ |
| SimpleContentProvider |
Project Page: SimpleContentProvider
This library aims to make creation of private and public ContentProviders trivial.
If your app is backed by a database, chances are you took one look at the
Content Provider API and decided that it wasn't worth the effort to use. This library aims to help that by removing the need to do all the legwork of writing all the basic CRUD operations that you'll encounter writing a basic content provider.
By using this library, you shouldn't need to write any SQL for most applications — table creation, query generation, etc. are all handled for you.
This library is loosely inspired by Django and follows some of its design
principles. It also follows the RESTful design principles that underly Android's data-driven activity flow and encourages the use of URIs to represent all data objects.
One can think of this library a bit like a super stripped down ORM —
similar to Hibernate or ORMlite.
Unlike ORMs, this library aims to have very little object creation in order to
minimize garbage collection churn. This follows Android's existing Content Provider APIs closely, making it so that there should be very little difference between the use of the content providers created by this library and any other Content Provider Android already exposes (contacts, media, calendars, etc.). |
| SocialAuth Android |
SocialAuth Android is an Android version of popular SocialAuth Java library.
