Realistically, neither Qt or Gtk will work reasonably well on android in the (near) future. And realistically, Gtk 3 will never work well in HTML 5, since it's a desktop api. If you develop for Android, all you can do is write apps to the API provided. Also, the apps must be very small, because most devices have severe internal memory limitations. Shipping Gtk/Qt would be ridiculous, and it's likely that Qt will never really take of on Android (which is sad). Python also won't run on Android in the near-future, at least not for writing full applications. ASE is extremely limited and only really useful for small scripts. Also, the CPython interpreter is HUGE when it comes to Android. Jython is very JVM-specific, and Android doesn't have JVM. It simply has a VM that happens to map well to Java. Either large parts of Jython would have to be rewritten or PyPy would have to grow a dalvik backend, and both are very ambitious undertakings. And even if Python did work on Android, Sugar activities will never run there. Sugar won't work well on Android devices because Sugar is an entire environment with its own particular HIG, which is highly incompatible with Android's. What could be done is to create a set of educational apps for Android. And that's all well and good, but it has little to do with Sugar.

But if the goal is a full featured word processing application, I suspect there are other routes to the same goal in the Android world.

In the case of Write, this is a C++ library linked with Gtk-2 with the UI written with pyGtk. It seems to me that the minimum requirement for this idea to have the remotest chance of reusing all the work that has gone into sugar so far is for Gtk to have android graphics backend. Gtk-3.0 can apparently now draw to HTML 5. So maybe it it is possible to build such a thing for android? An android backend to Gtk-3.0 would be extremely valuable to the Free Software community. So much so that I wonder if there has been an attempt to do this. Does any one know? Cheers Martin</div></blockquote> <div> </div><div> </div>
