Let’s copy get2inputsapp.py to the emulator using the adb tool:

tools/adb push get2inputsapp.py /sdcard/sl4a/scripts

The get2inputsapp.py app appears on the list of scripts within SL4A. Go ahead and give it a tap:

Your new app starts,
and you can edit
the web server
address and port.

When you click
on the input
area, Android’s
“soft” keyboard
pops up.
Enter a new
timing value,
and then tap
“Ok”.
