Please how can you help. Google "android development tutorial". If you can't find what you are looking for there, then please refine your question and ask again. Since this is a Python list, perhaps you want to use Python in the development process; in that case Google "android development python". Note references to "Kivy". If you can't find what you are looking for there, then please refine your question and ask again. The more explicit your question the more likely you are to get explicit answers. Saying "I can't find any tutorial resource online" suggests you don't know how to Google! ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

I replied and it went off into a black hole due to my own error. sending
again here, though Bob hit the main point I think: python-on-android is
a little tricky.

You never mention the word Python but you sent this to the Python
tutor list so one presumes you were interested in this question in
the Python context.
If not, then developing with Xamarin Forms under Visual Studio is an
easy way to target Windows and Android apps from a similar environment.
Xamarin can target iOS as well. I'm none of {Mobile App, Windows,
Android} Developer but for a project I was able in fairly short order
to develop some example apps for both platforms (and for the Tizen
platform as well, using the same dev environment).
However, with Python the story is different, because Android does not
have a Python interpreter in the system, and Android store policies
don't make it easy to deploy an app that depends on another one - you
have to do something to bundle Python support with the app you develop.
Go talk to Google about that issue...
You have to look around some for ways to make that workable - there are
a few projects. One of the ones I hear quite a bit about is called Kivy
(see kivy.org). It's not the only one, some Internet searching may
prove productive.

It's a great way to become familiar with the Android event model. It also has an excellent web based tutorial. Once you have mastered that, moving into a more traditional development environment should be easier. (Although you may never need to since most apps are simplistic enough to be within the scope of AI.) Since this is a Python list we'll assume that means using Kivy.
