Rhino is a port of JavaScript that is implemented in Java. It can run on Android with minor tweaks. You can find the code for it as part of the SL4A project.
You could embed an invisible browser and have it execute the script. But perhaps there is a better way.
You can execute JavaScript from within a WebView
. Make sure you set WebSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true)
.
You can find more information here.
I guess it depends on what you need the JavaScript to do. There is a way to execute JavaScript contained within HTML, ie PhoneGap.
