Hello Forlano,

Thank you for your feedback. I think currently status of Android Builder allows to create user interface with pure Java (Android libs) and call C++ code via JNI (Java Native Interface). Moreover you can write pure C++ app with native activity and use existing code. More information you can find in our official Android Builder example: http://www.ultimatepp.org/examples$AndroidMath$en-us.html. In the near future I plan to post Core example, so please be patient Wink

To be honest porting GUI for Android will be hard. It is mainly, because now u++ doesn't support several important things like:
- gesture support
- GUI layout containers - like vertical layoout, grid etc.
- Several controls inadequate to touch interface
Of course the bigest part of porting U++ on Android will be CtrlCore.

A small note, if we transient U++ into touch interface we can even port it on easier iOS (But firstly we need full Mac OS X port).

Sincerely,
Klugier
