JavaFX In Action with Maciej Gorywoda about FxCalculator, an Android app built with Scala and JavaFX

About FxCalculator

FxCalculator is a calculator for your Android phone. It's got all the usual buttons with numbers and operators, and parentheses, as well as buttons for storing the partial results of your calculations in the memory. It also has an advanced editor mode, under the "Fx" button. In this mode, you can write an expression with your virtual keyboard as if you were writing simple programming code. You can use variables and functions, combine them, and write custom ones. They're stored on the phone so they can be actually useful to you more than once.
