Ruby Direct Democracy
Creating an Android app directly in Ruby is possible using frameworks like **RubyMotion** or **Rhodes**. These frameworks enable Ruby developers to build native Android (and iOS) apps.
Here's a basic outline of how you might start building a simple "Direct Democracy" app in Ruby using RubyMotion:
### Prerequisites:
- RubyMotion installed and configured
- Android SDK installed
- Basic knowledge of Ruby and Android app development
---
### Basic "Direct Democracy" App Structure in RubyMotion
```ruby
# app/main.rb
class MainActivity < Android::App::Activity
def on_create(savedInstanceState)
super
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
# Create a simple UI programmatically
@vote_button = find_view_by_id(R.id.vote_button)
@vote_text = find_view_by_id(R.id.vote_text)
@vote_count = 0
@vote_button.set_on_clickListener do
@vote_count += 1
@vote_text.text = "Votes: #{@vote_count}"
end
end
end
```
### Layout XML (res/layout/activity_main.xml)
```xml
```
---
### Next Steps:
- Expand the app to include multiple proposals
- Store votes persistently with SQLite or other storage
- Add user authentication if needed
- Implement a voting mechanism for proposals
- Design a more sophisticated UI
---
### Note:
- RubyMotion is a paid framework, but it offers full access to native APIs.
- Alternatively, consider using **Flutter** or **React Native** for cross-platform development with JavaScript or Dart.
