Hi, Peter is right, although probably a lot of the core JabRef code could be compiled for Android, all the GUI parts will have to be remade for Android. I've only played a little with Android myself, so I don't know how to do it, and I don't have the time either. But I would be happy to give support to anyone who would like to make a "JabRef light" version for Android.
Regarding iPhone, I think Java is totally out of the question there, so it would probably be more work than for Android. -- Morten 2011/2/27 Peter Serwylo <[email protected]>: > G'day, > I'm not a developer of JabRef, but can possibly shed some light for you. > The program is written in Java, which is the main language used to > develop for Android devices.
