Thoughts on developing a chat client for android?
There are only two kinds of people who are really fascinating: people who know absolutely everything, and people who know absolutely nothing.

I was thinking about it, but Android is sort of splintered right now.  I'd have to support a whole bunch of different versions, which would be extremely tedious.
Grif: Yeah, and the people in the red states are mad because the people in the blue states are mean to them and want them to pay money for roads and schools instead of cool things like NASCAR and shotguns.  Also, there's something about ketchup in there.

With a few modifications, JavaOp works fine on Android.
(Namely stripping out most of the plugin system, and making a new UI)
Or at least it does on a Emulator.

Well, firstly, you have to design for (I think) 8 different resolutions since 1.6.  Then there's also the whole thing where you define the minimum OS version and go from there, plus SDK, and hope people don't have non-standard versions.  Developing for Android right now is sort of a headache.

I was planning on designing strictly for STOCK 2.1 as a test and worry about the rest at a later point in time, if ever.

Maybe we can start something then.  I have no experience developing for Android, because it's pretty daunting to get started in alone.

a robust UI won't have that kind of problem.

UI has never been my strong point.

Who needs a UI? Console style is fine, :P.

Actually, using a program called MONO http://github.com/koush/androidmono you can develop C# Console Applications on Android.

And for anyone who is interested or curious, you can also create iPhone apps with Mono using C#. I'm more than certain they'll have one for iPad soon enough if not already.

(Please excuse the bump. I'm actually being relevant this time.)

Is anyone still interested in this? I actually have an Android phone, so I might care enough to do it, and if Hdx says JavaOp mostly runs..

Then again, my phone runs Froyo and I don't feel like spending money on an Eclaire device. I can try things in the simulator, though..
