05/12/2020, 12:06 PM47 Degrees was the last company showing interest in scala on Android. We kept maintaining macroid but it’s also abandoned since there is no community around it. Also when Scala moved to 2.12 left a lot of people hanging on Android that could not update for a long time and I believe this killed interest.

05/12/2020, 12:08 PMThe SBT pliugin for Android was maintained by a third party and we also contributed some improvements at some point but again there was no interest. Scala is all backend and data related and they don’t pay the slightest attention to Android

05/12/2020, 12:31 PMWell, I managed to run a Java-Scala Android project with Gradle quite easily, where Scala was in a separated library module. I only wish I could as well call Android SDK from Scala. Besically, I wish there was something like https://github.com/saturday06/gradle-android-scala-plugin, but up-to-date.
