RFO Basic and Rebol are not related tools. Using a tool to package RFO Basic scripts does not include the required R3 interpreter.

There are 2 ways to make a R3 appli for Android devices:
- the first: to download and to install http://development.saphirion.com/experimental/builds/android/r3-droid.apk on the device
then to download the R3 script (sample script) on the device
then to click/open the R3 script using the previous app R3-droid.
- the second: to convert the R3 script+R3-droid into a single apk... but I have no info to do this, and I am looking for... (a apk demo made by saphirion is http://development.saphirion.com/experimental/builds/android/demo-encap.apk)

@Jean Louis
I am using the method of making a script on pc and running it on pc.The above mentioned Script works fine on pc but when I build the apk using the rfo-basic apk builder,the apk is generated and the app is installed on device too, but when I open the app there is a error,the app doesnt run.I want to make a R3 script on pc using the R3 and r3gui and make a standalone apk with the R3 interpreter in the same apk and the app should run successfully on the android device. Please help me.

@Sagar
There are 2 ways or 2 methods to execute a R3 script for Android devices.
Your method looks like the 2nd way I describe, but
as Nick said, it is wrong because rfo-basic apk builder does not include R3-droid... it is not a tool for R3,
and unfornutely I have no info/no tool to do the 2nd way (I think it exists).
There is always the 1rst way, it works, but it requires to download/install R3-droid apk and then to download the R3 script.

@JeanLouis
I dont know much about the first method,but when read about it,I think it doesnt make our app an Independent app,coz it always will require a other app to run it on android,So I am not thinking to build a apk by the 1st method.The Second method will make a apk independent and the app will run without any support app.

Saphirion has an APK maker for R3 which they haven't released publicly. You may be able to reach Robert or Cypher about it, on AltME. The rfobasic tools will not work with R3.

@Nick:
    
I hope they' ll release it to the public FREELY some day, UNLESS they want to speculate on it, and require a few bucks. :)
