Hey Jim, thanks for the ever improving MMEdit
RFO dev is ongoing. It's open source and has a few spinoffs.
I'm using the original version on Android 12.
This thing is very slick and I have just switched away from the the compiler that is B4A.
B4A is great for heavy computation but it's event driven and I am satisfied that I don't like this...there is always a perceptible delay when interacting with the touchscreen. For user interface stuff, RFO responds instantly.
The one drawback (not for me), used to be that a "compiled" RFO app is merely a bundle. Add a ".zip" to the ".apk" and all source can be revealed.
Of course the user would have to somehow know that it's an RFO creation to realise this.
However, the APK compiler from mougino (link in previous post), actually encrypts the source and resources...works beautifully
This is compiling directly on the Android device
The resultant apk is just like any other app and can be uploaded to Google Play.
