Coollector on android tablet?

Hi,

I wonder if there are plans to make this great program available for the tablet running on android, samsung tablet for example.

That would be awesome.

Thanks.

Yes, that would be awesome, but it's a very difficult task, so there's no chance that it'll happen soon. For a while, I'll focus all my energy improving the Mac and Windows versions (there's well enough to occupy me).

Coollector is available on both Mac and Windows, because it's written with a cross-platform library called wxWidgets.

Unfortunately, as I speak, wxWidgets isn't of any help to make a version of Coollector for smartphones and tablets, but there are plans for wxWidgets to support iOS and Android in the future:

If wxWidgets evolves as planned, it'll be a lot much easier to port Coollector. Otherwise, it'll be necessary to write a new program entirely from scratch. It's not something that I would do myself. I'd rather wait for Coollector to become successful enough to be able to hire a programmer for that task.

Sorry I was out for some time, thanks anyway for the clear reply.

I hope it will happen in the future, I am ready to pay for such an app for sure.
