Run python script inside java on android

Question

Is it possible to run "python" script inside "Java" in an android app? The main app will be Java but some cryptography should be done in "python"
Is it possible to do this?

Answer 1

Running a python script inside android app is not practical at the moment, but what you can do is creating a HTTP web service for interpreting python and sending back the results to the android application.

Then it's just Android app communicating with a HTTP web service which is simpler than packing an interpreter.

This way it makes the app lighter too.
