  I just heard back from Intel. They say

  "DirectCanvas (now AGI) is supported on android on 2.2+."

  Hello, I'm not sure if there are any big changes, since I have never used it before. If you look at the examples they provide in their DirectCanvas SDK, it seems like they might have added support for Android, or at least for some Android versions (there is a fallback in the code).

  I have also tried both and I agree that Intel XDK at this stage seems buggier and messier than CocoonJS (but there are bugs in CocoonJS as well). Let's hope Intel sorts it out soon. Intel XDK is free to use while CocoonJS will cost money.

  Another option to consider is gameclosure. While CocoonJS and Intel XDK support both webview and canvas acceleration, gameclosure is only about canvas acceleration, but seems very good. I'm not sure Construct2 supports exporting the combination of webview and canvas, so it probably doesn't matter in many cases.

  For whatever it's worth, I found this document about directcanvas, and thought it might contain some new information:

  Convert an App Using HTML5 Canvas to Use App Game Interfaces

  v1.04 : 03.04.2013

  Intel changed the name from "directcanvas" to "App Game Interfaces".

  Ashley: Gameclosure is open-source and free, while Cocoon isn't (or won't be). Cocoon's pricing model might not suit everyone. It would be great if Construct 2 would support Gameclosure export as well!
