Mainly regular smartphones (such as the Samsung Galaxy S with 10,16 cm/4" display). I think it would make sense for a mobile Libreoffice to start with the biggest android-segment which has the most users. On the other hand one can ask the question if users would use a complete office suite like this on their phones. I don't really know. I would if I had a document I had to edit while no desktop computer would be around. This libreoffice would probably become the main/most installed office-app running on a very important operating system of the next years (strategically maybe /the/ most important) . > My next question is what Android version you've designed for ... > assuming that you've picked on recent version (its always so hard to > predict how Android 2013 will look and behave like).

I'm not a programmer just an open-source enthusiast and Android user. Are the UI elements really that far apart between the android versions? How do other app-projects deal with this? Would it be so complicated to design individual UI elements? For me as non-computer scientist designing these UI elements seems simple. > Last question - I've noticed that you've preserved all functionality > (again: assumption on my side). Is that correct?

But many aspects I included are very general - such as menu bars, choosing fonts and styles scrolling within a document and so on. I'm not sure if functions should be hidden. I think no - because users who only need a document *reader* would simply use apps like the 'OpenOffice Document Reader'. >> Maybe I can put this into the LO-Wiki, but I'm not sure if that works >> with regular html-code... > Well, regular html-code can be embedded, but then you (or we) loose some > of the nice editing capabilities.
