Hello,

I would like to announce that Core finally compiles for Android with TheIDE Android Builder. This is the huge milestone for our community, because it brings us closer to a full port.

More things to be done:
- Example of core for Android
- Test compilation for Windows (It compiles fine on GNU/Liunx as host)
- Fix BLITZ compatibility
- CPU cores detection doesn't work (Fixed - http://www.ultimatepp.org/redmine/issues/1456#change-2937).
- Several localization problems

More android news:
- TheIDE now allows to launch projects directly on Android Emulator.

General comments:
- -std=c++11 is required for compilation (now new Android Builder instances turn it on by default)

Sincerely,
Klugier


U++ - one framework to rule them all.

Very good news! Thanks Klugier.
I wish to see one day a "hello world" windows appear on android device.

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
