Execute javascript function from java

I want to know if it's possible to execute a javascript function from java. Basically I have a javascript function to which I want to pass a string and then get the output from that function.

If it's possible, how do I accomplish it?

EDIT -

I couldn't find a solution to this, what I did was re-write all the javascript code in Java. But I am guessing, Rhino ported on Android should do the trick. If someone has tried it out, please post a solution.

You probably want to take a look at the ScriptEngine. There are plenty of samples out there on how to use it. Works on anything but Mac where they for some reason selected to include AppleScript instead of JavaScript by default.

Edit: Take a look at this page, there seems to be a Rhino port for Android out there.

Javascript is not natively supported in java. If you need it, you may implement the Rhino javascript engine to do this.

"Rhino is an open-source implementation of JavaScript written entirely in Java. It is typically embedded into Java applications to provide scripting to end users."
