Unfortunately, WebKit does not support MathML, otherwise I would recommend you use the WebView widget for this. A quick scan doesn't show much promising that could readily be adapted to run directly on Android itself. If you are looking to have the MathML be user-entered, the "simplest" solution may be a Web service the converts MathML into a PNG. I see a couple of MathML->SVG converters: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pmml2svg/ http://www.grigoriev.ru/svgmath/ and you could use ImageMagick or something to convert the SVG into a PNG for on-device display. If the equations are fixed -- meaning users cannot modify them -- you may as well just consider MathML to be an authoring language and deploy the equations as PNGs or something on the device. Or, you could write a MathML renderer native for Android, using the MathML->SVG renderers as examples. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 1.4 Published! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
