Android SDK has an emacs support stuff, but no emacs USE flag here. I think it can be useful to emacs users
Gabor, have you used the Emacs support? It seems rather basic and has no autoload magic, so a hard-coded load is a no-go for us (Emacs team). It seems to work, but more than byte-compiling and installing in /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp is not in our scope.
And no way to do wrapper for it to fit in gentoo-style? I currently not using this, because my phone isn't arrived yet, but I thinking on using, because NetBeans is too bloated for a small, fast apps; and i need a hack to make android support correct. This was a basic idea, why I asked this. I can include this .el as well as described way on project's homepage, but an official support is always better than own hacks :-).

I talked to ulm (the rest of the GNU Emacs team), and we can provide a custom-made autoload for android. So a USE=emacs is in reach (not today, though). :)
(In reply to comment #2) > And no way to do wrapper for it to fit in gentoo-style? Well, the .el contains only a handful of interactive functions, so there's always the possibility to autoload some (or all) of them. nelchael, rich0: O.K. with you if the Emacs team is taking care of this issue?
No objections here - they have a bit more experience with emacs than I do. If any changes are needed on the android side let us know so that we can make sure not to disrupt them in the future.

However, since we are newly adding Emacs support for the Gentoo package, I am of the opinion that upstream should fix their code before we go ahead.
