title: Scala Programming for Android
body: <p>I have followed the tutorial at <a href="http://www.scala-lang.org/node/160" rel="noreferrer">Scala and Android</a> with <em>Scala 2.7.3</em> final. The resulting Android App works but even the most basic application takes several minutes (!) to compile and needs <strong>900 kb</strong> compressed, which is a show stopper for mobile applications. Additionally, the IDE runs out of memory every now and then. I assume <code>dex</code> is not made for big libraries like the <code>scala-library</code>.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>So my question is: Has anyone actually done this and is there any cure for this?</li>
  </ul>
