Simple VFP App to reimplement in Android... anyone got any advice...

[GriffMG]

I don't develop much new stuff these days, but I have thrown together a simple app to help myself exercise my hand after a recent procedure.

One form, two buttons and a few labels... thinking it would be a really good first app for Android.

I think I need some kind of on-line course in Android Studio or somesuch - has anyone gone in this direction, any advice?

This is what I did. My local community college has a lot courses in the computer area and I took 3 on developing in Java and Android. One of the projects I ported over to VFP was a blackjack simulation (the card game of blackjack.)

Dear Doug Lind

Could share how to do it>

Very impressive.

Thanks and regards,

Could VFP exe run in Android? very well done, hope can learn more from you.


Thanks and regards,

Good luck with this idea, Griff. I've occasionally considered doing something similar myself - more as an intellectual exercise than to meet a need. I would guess that the first step might be to get to know Java.

Let us know how you get on.

@trial03
The app is in VFP just now, not trying to run that on Android, was thinking it's simplicity would make a good target for rewriting
in something for Android. A little math, a little timer and some text - wrapped around a case statement.

@Mike
Pretty sure I can handle the coding, what ever the language, but that Android studio looks like it needs to be introduced nicely
not my usual dive in and see what happens
