Is it me or it's a nightmare to convert iOS to Android project?

I have a simple project that uses an ORM and a few libraries that we built, and for the past few days I’ve been redoing all the code to make it fit into an Android project.

The Xojo debugger isn’t helpful at all !

I’m using the Gradle logs to figure out what the hell is going on. So far, I’m just breaking my code because Xojo isn’t able to translate its language for this compiler.

Will future versions be better? Let me know if you’ve tested the next Xojo beta release.

Would help if you could be more precisely please and tell us what are the areas you have problems. Can you provide a sample etc.?

Martin, I think your question is perfectly valid.

We can’t help if there aren’t enough details to indicate what’s actually happening.

Based on what Etienne mentioned, it seems the issue isn’t with XOJO itself, but with the libraries it’s using.

Martin : I can’T be specific, because every thing is a problem and Xojo IDE don’T point where. After 80 modifications, i stops, it’s kind of stupid if all other platform works on that kind of code and not Android.

Tim : ?! What is an OP, use full words please.

Jose : I use the wrong word, Modules and Class that we share between project. They works perfectly for years (except when Xojo decide to change a word from Change to Changed or Clicked or whatever. But on Android project, Xojo is not ready to be “easy” development.

I can’t speak to the current state of Android, but I’ve tried multiple times to convert things to run on that platform and have given up each time due to missing or incomplete features. I’m sure it’s a lot better now than it was the last time I tried, but I just kept hitting roadblocks. I know the team is doing what they can to solidify the target, but it just hadn’t reached the state I needed the last time I tried and I’ve been too busy to try again.

As always, be sure to open cases in issues for the problems you do find or they stand absolutely zero chance of being fixed.

One or 2 problems at a time, it will be a pleasure to take time to send a detailed bug report, but that is too much.

OP means Original Poster, the one that started the thraed, that is you.

Oh my !! i wouldn’t guess that haha thanks !

I guess i will wait until the Android version will be more mature. I was to exited to port few internal iOS project to Android. Because when i see

Android Compiler
(Class: db) Unresolved reference ‘Boolean’

in the Module DB, not a DB class, and i have few Classes and lots of methods in this modules… so… i gave up for now. it’s too much work and time that i don’t have.
