Re: [fltk.general] fltk on android - Forums

Thanks for your work Matthias. The cmake script works well. I can add fltk as a subproject in a native Cmake android app and it would just work. The only thing I’ve noticed is the small resolution and the support for multithreading, for which I patch the fltk android system driver to derive from the posix driver, and I copy the x11 thread messaging since I use them.

Hi, yes, the Android port is my project. It has come quite far, and actually many of the demo projects run quite well. It does need a lot of cleanup though to be maintainable, and it will need a more specific Android adaptation, so FLTK apps can react to Android specific conditions.

I have long breaks in my FLTK development thanks to a bunch of private matters. I want to really get back into the Android code, and I am waiting for the opportunity, but I can't give a reliable date for a release or even a prerelease. I will merge a recent addition ASAP: the Android Studio IDE is now constructed by an FLTK app instead of a (convoluted) CMake script.

It’s Matt’s project, and tends to proceed in fits and starts when Matt gets time to work on it.

AFAIK, it “works” but in a somewhat constrained fashion, so you could try it out, but I do not think you could deliver an app with it at this stage.
