Clearly my fairly new 8BG Samsung Galaxy 2 7.0
(4.0.4 OS) is not in a league with Roger's, Victor's or Steven's.
I tested with the xanadu.csd: a realtime rendering
of this file (44100SR, ksmps=1, stereo) is unintelligible. (By contrast, on
Victor's pad it runs fine.) Realized at 8000SR it has only the occasional glitch
on my pad.
Furthermore, at 44100SR it takes 4.5 minutes to
render to WAV (it is a one-minute piece), and then plays back
flawlessly.
I'd like to pass on the following information about
rendering to WAV in Android: the complete filepath must be specified.
(Apparently there is no default location.) If this is not done you'll get a
"Csound Compilation Error -1" message, which is the message you'll get if
*anything* goes wrong during compilation.
Also: specification of the complete filepath is the
*only* CsOption required when writing to WAV.

I am using the quad-core Asus Prime TF201.
Plenty of power for making great Csound music.

Steven has got the new Google Nexus Tab, which looks very good. I think that
is probably the best bet at the moment. We'll be getting one to try out very
soon.

Victor and Steven and Roger and Art and other Csounders....
Which Android Tablets are you using and which do you recommend that
other Csounders might consider using/purchasing for Csound
Development.

Thanks for Art and Roger for pointing out what we could not do with
it.

Thanks for your thorough response,
Roger.
Your suspicion is correct: I'm not building an
Android app. I'm just trying to use Steven Yi's Csound Editor app to
run .csd files that produce an output WAV instead of a realtime
rendering.
So all I want to do is give Csound Editor the
permission to write WAV files.
Right now I'm wondering why Steven (I think it
was he) didn't include this permission in his app.
But perhaps I still fail to see clearly.
Steven?

I am not sure exactly sure the context of your
question, but basically you have to be building an Android
application using Eclipse as your build tool. It sounds like
you are possibly trying to run an already built app? If so you
need the source for it.
In the Eclipse project you will see a file called Manifest.xml.
Android uses this to grant permission and do other things
related to packaging of the app.
In the top part of the Manifest.xml you will see this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
package="aorch.layout"
android:versionCode="3"
android:versionName="1.3"
>
<uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"
/>
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="9" />
<application
You want to add the line in bold before the "application"
section. This will allow Csound to be able to write files to
the sdcard.

Roger,
If you or someone could kindly lead me
through the process of changing permissions in a
manifest.xml file, I'd be much obliged. I'm clueless.
I've ES File Explorer app installed, and
have managed in Settings to enable "Up to Root (enable up to Root
directory)", and tried to enable "Root Explorer (only for rooted
devices) - but am not able to/not allowed to enable this feature
on my "phone" (a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0).
I've apparently access to all Root folders,
but can't locate anywhere folders for individual applications,
especially any Csound folders. And so, no AndroidManifest.xml
files appear. (I've also enabled viewing all hidden files.) I
don't even know if the two Csound apps are supposed to be on
the sdcard or internal memory (I've supposed the sdcard, but what
do I know).
The darkness is great. Enlightenment is
highly prized.

Add this to your manifest xml:
<uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"
/>
And you path (assuming you want to write to the sdcard)
would be /mnt/sdcard/<your directory>, otherwise it writes
to /data/data/yourpackagename

And by default where does the file

Yes it was a permissions issue. Got it
fixed. Thanks.

Victor answered a similar inquiry
from me a few days ago by saying that he thought Csound
on Android (if I understand correctly) did not have
permission to write WAV files.
I'd like to know if this is: a
current limitation of Android, or a limitation of the
Csound implementation on Android? (I'd assume the former
- and hope this may change in the near future, as may
the lack of MIDI implementation.)

Does anyone know if fout works on
Android? If so what directory should I attempt to put
the filename into? I get this error:
