Building "native" apps with just the subsurface core as c/c++ part is also an option. There exists a skeleton of a core library for building a Android java frontend to download dives with, but its not yet ready for mainline. You can find the bits on github[1] and play around with. Which path is the best then? I'd say thats depends on who is building it. //Anton 1. https://github.com/venkateshshukla/dc_import_android -- Anton Lundin +46702-161604 _______________________________________________ subsurface mailing list [email protected] http://lists.subsurface-divelog.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface
