Android - creating word document - android

I want to create word(.doc) and excel(.xls) files on the android platform.
For excel I am able to use jexel jar, but I am unable to find any API for word files.
Can you tell me if there are any opensource/free API for writing word files on the android platform?
People have suggested Apache-POI but I am not able to implement it in android. Please let me know if Apache-POI really works on android or not.

Look at this thread, its java generally but it should also work on android platform What's a good Java API for creating Word documents?

TarsosDSP with Android - no relevant source code

I follow up on this article: TarsosDSP with Android
I am trying to implement an android application that reads mp3 files and processes them using WEKA.
The TarsosDSP seems to be a good step in the right direction, especially since the Berkley guys seems to have implemented a fork with android.
When I tried downloading their source code here: TarsosDSPAndroid Source Code
I still found a lot of references to javax.sound, which is kind of counter-productive.
So is something mixed up with their uploaded source code or am I looking in the wrong place?
Perhaps some background to what I am trying to accomplish overall:
I am writing an Android App that will read the entire mp3 library, and using WEKA and pre-loaded test-groups will classify each song to appropriate genre.
The part of reading the mp3 library is all done and so is the classification using WEKA, now I am stuck in joining them up - What seemed to be working fine using jAudio in a java project doesn't work for android because of the dependency in javax.sound, so I am trying to bypass that using a different library that works for android.
Thanks in advance!

Version 2.0 of TarsosDSP supports Android out of the box. There are no more dependencies on javax.sound.*. This makes it a lot more easy to work with on Android. There is even an TarsosDSP Android jar file that can be included in your project directly.

Is it possible to compile a Xamarin project as a library for iOS and Android?

I need to create an API library for Android and iOS. I have experience working with Android projects, but zero experties in iOS. I was wondering if I could create a Project library in Xamarin that compiles as a JAR for Android and as an... I-don't-know-which-type for iOS.
No, that isn't possible. Depending on what you are trying to accomplish there may be alternatives. If you are trying to make a library that can be used by others you could make it a Xamarin component - there is a component store you could put it on if you want it to be generally available, otherwise you can use any normal means of source or object distribution.
If you need to interact with a native app/library then you could make the C# code the "owner" of it and have it call into the native code. This works for both IOs and Android (and is used to work with e.g the play services from google).
No, it is unfortunately not possible to do that.
It seems to me that what you need is a Portable Class Library also known as PCL. It allows you to create a project which can be referenced by all Xamarin supported platforms (such as iOs and Android). There are obviously limitations to the approach like not being able to reference platform specific libraries but in your case (of writing an API) it should suffice.

Android AIML BOT?

I have a few Questions related to AIML integration in the Android OS. I know not much of Java but I do know a lot about AIML. I made the AIML files and now what I want to do is to make one app which can load the files and run them in a GUI. Please tell me a way to do this. If AIML is not possible, is there a C++ way to do it? Please reply fast. I know C++, C and AIML. Not much JAVA or other programming Languages. I am not interested in hosting a web based application as I don't have a site and can't get one.
FYI- AIML stands for 'Artificial Intelligence Markup Language'.

The chatterbots use a complicated algorithm. Simply, the chatterbot executable searches for categories with the underscore wildcard. Next, categories with no wildcard are searched. Last, the star wildcards are checked. When the pattern matches the input, then the AIML interpreter handles the code in the template tags. You may want to look at the source code for this chatterbot to get an idea about how they work.

Try program-ab.
It's written in java and very easy to integrate in an android app.
I don't know if there is any c/c++ chatbots. If it's available then you can try integrating them using Android Native development kit(called NDK).
NDK is used to write android apps in c++. I personally wont be able to help you with NDK.
But I have integrated program-ab into android app using java. Its pretty simple.

Interacting with Android API Library?

I'm quite the beginner to programming in general (and esp. Java!), so I'm having trouble figuring out how to interact with the unofficial Android API library, shown here:
http://code.google.com/p/android-market-api/
One of the snippets of example code say "see AppsResponse class definition for more info". However, how am I supposed to do this? There are two .jars provided, one of which corresponds to the Android Market API. Upon extraction with WinRAR (I'm on Windows, by the way), I go in a few folders deep and find a bunch of .class files. How do I open this to read, and figure out how to interact with the API? Thanks!
You can just look at it from the source?

Start programming to Android

I know there is a dedicated area for Android issues, BUT I just want to know if there's an option to program to Android in C or in Java, and what will be the best language to write apps for Android.
This info you can't find in the Android area...
Thanks !!
Android practically is java.
Just read some how to start tutorials and you will see theres not much difference to conventional java applications.
It is Java with some platform dependent features.
SDK:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
DevGuides:
http://developer.android.com/guide/index.html
The Android API is in Java. You can find the developer guide here.
For performance-critical code, you can use the Android NDK.
Android's comprehensive java SDK makes it a lot easier to write apps in Java. You should check out the getting started page on their developer site.
The best? Java.
You can also write in C/C++ with the NDK.
And you can also write with Python or, say, Scala, but is not easy at all.
Java is the best because the API is Java, so all the documentation is in Java. Equally important, Google's ADT plugin to program Android in Eclipse is super easy, so you are going to work with an IDE, no need to advanced text editors and so.
Android applications are java based. (although I heard new NDK support development of full application in C).
It is possible to develop some libraries in c/c++ and load them to your application using JNI, which is also a Java feature. Start from here: http://developer.android.com/index.html I know it seems to general, but the official site is a great place to start from.
You use Java to program Android. It says it in the documentation for development for Android.
You can also use the NDK but don't start with that.
