Hi Banlu, There are two possible approaches.
The easy way would to be write a new GNUstep backend, then you can just recompile EtoileUI as it is. This way, EtoileUI can reuse existing AppKit controls. The other approach is to write a EtoileUI backend for Android. It's far more work but EtoileUI would then support Android native widgets. Here are the various things to do: - Finish to rewrite drawing implementation to let EtoileUI controls it entirely - Formalize a bit more the subset of the AppKit that EtoileUI uses for drawing (NSFont, NSImage, NSBezierPath etc.) and reimplement it on top of Android (something like Skia I suppose) - ETLayoutItem and ETView needs to be adjusted to support embedding widgets other then AppKit controls - ETLayoutItemFactory will require some changes to return item using native widgets - Turn ETApplication into a standalone class (it's a NSApplication subclass currently) - Split various classes e.g. ETWindowItem into abstract class vs backend implementation class (and provide a Android backend implementation for these classes) - Implement a ETEventProcessor subclass for Android Cheers, Quentin.
