Even if you could write code in a common language, and I'm not sure you can't, you'd interact with different libraries and OS assumptions. Given that C and C++ are the development language for neither platform, you're barking up the wrong tree there. I'm aware of projects that target both iOS and Android, based on public information from places like Had you done a web search on this question, you likely would have found this in the less than five minutes it took me to search: http://mobiledevices.about.com/od/kindattentiondevelopers/tp/Android-Os-Vs-Apple-Ios-Which-Is-Better-For-Developers.htm -- Lew -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
