openframeworks on Nexus7 and Galaxy Nexus

This is just an openframeworks polygon example. But it is running on both my Nexus 7 and my Galaxy Nexus. This means I have the dev environment all setup to build something and it's alive. There are some camera issues on the Nexus 7, but enough toys for exploration nevertheless. This installation process worked mostly augmented by this thread on the openframeworks forum. Using the development branch of openframeworks on github.

So, hmmm, decisions, decisions will it be processing or openframeworks for this project, or maybe one of each.

Running processing example on nexus 7

Messing with processing again. Running the particles example on the Nexus 7 android tablet. Couldn't be easier, startup processing and open a sketch. Press the android button and run the sketch. It builds the apk and transfers it to the device. Of course it helps to have the Android SDK installed and working and I had to point processing to the SDK. This screenshot is of the Daniel Schiffman Particles example that was included with processing.
