Depending on one's level of masochism, there is Avian[1] that can be used to rum java classes on ios. I'm not sure that the pain is worth the gain in this case, better stick with native libraries imho. [1] http://oss.readytalk.com/avian/ On Wed, May 22, 2013 at 10:41 AM, Alexis Pigeon

Hi Tom, I need to create the pdf offline first, plus I need to be able to generate the report without any connectivity. I assume the option below won't work in this case? Regards, [Description: Description: Description: Dipar systems Final.jpg] Johan Mostert (Jnr) t| (021) 946 1171f|

No problem doing that offline. I have seen (custom) solutions offering that (working offline) and using the html5/image type solution. In online mode the files are transfered to the app and are later accessible/viewable etc. However you'll need a least a basic native app (frame) though. If you

It's not a wrapper, it's more of a static JIT that generates native code to run on the device. Note that I'm not affiliated with xamarin and never used it but I heard good thing about it. You'll have to try yourself to see if it's suitable to your needs. Paulo On Wed, May 22, 2013 at 6:18 PM,
