guinness Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 If you're proficient in AutoIt then should know by now that a question such as this is a little vague, so I will provide some generic languages you could use on both.

AZJIO Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) TheDcoder You want too much at once. Windows and Linux are different. Set of properties of a window or files are different. What you have in Windows may not be available on Linux and vice versa. Linux uses Python. But it's hard to be retrained. In Python more difficult to make a window. In Python more difficult to fulfill mechanisms return errors. There is no documentation in the mother tongue. More precisely there is but not in full. By the way some of my programs written in AutoIt work using Wine. To create a window into the AutoIt function is used GUICreate. To create a window in Python need to create a more complex structure. In AutoIt I made since the early days of GUI and continued to rack up its interesting teams. Unfortunately in Python I face constant problems: I can't create the menu in a tray, I learned two months how to make a window. Perhaps you're lucky more, it depends on your strength.

TheSaint Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 @Dcoder - I'm sure you are not alone. I for one, would love to be able to code in Linux (more precisely Android) like I do in Windows with AutoIt. From my investigations, it is a steep learning curve of thinking in a different way ... this old dog is not sure he wants to learn that new trick. It would be marvelous to see a creation of my own on my phone or a tablet, that did something I could really use. At the moment, I've decided to pray to the expanding Universe and face Donut (like Mecca to some), for a miracle written in AutoIt, that will create Android apps (i.e. as a frontend). One lives in hope. Either that, or Jon & Team go into business and create their own AutoIt driven phone and tablet. Make sure brain is in gear before opening mouth! Remember, what is not said, can be just as important as what is said. Spoiler What is the Secret Key? Life is like a Donut If I put effort into communication, I expect you to read properly & fully, or just not comment. Ignoring those who try to divert conversation with irrelevancies. If I'm intent on insulting you or being rude, I will be obvious, not ambiguous about it. I'm only big and bad, to those who have an over-active imagination. I may have the Artistic Liesense to disagree with you. TheSaint's Toolbox (be advised many downloads are not working due to ISP screwup with my storage)
guinness Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Android Studio is one recommendation of mine if you want to great Android apps. I am in the process of learning it right now.

TheSaint Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) I believe I looked at that a while back, just kind of briefly, and it appeared you really needed to be more conversant with Java than I am. It might be worth another look now, from what I've just seen on Wikipedia? EDIT So how long before you start working on that AutoIt frontend?

Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted January 21, 2015 Moderators Posted January 21, 2015 Since we answer the "Does AutoIt work on other platforms?" question every couple of weeks, I say we have Jon figure out the cost of doing it, and we can then answer "Yes, it will, when we raise $x.

AXLE Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 For an alternative similar to Autoit for Android... Try RFO Basic. http://rfobasic.com/ http://laughton.com/basic/ http://rfobasic.com/ http://laughton.com/basic/ Uses Basic syntax, Scite wit code highlight etc Code and build in windows or Android, test on Android platform. Doesn't have a lot of advanced feataures up fron, but easy to use =) Xandy, TheDcoder and Zedna 3 "Writing code to carry out an intended set of tasks is relatively easy.

JohnOne Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Agreed, but can you develop apps on windows for deployment on android?

JohnOne Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) Apparently so, found one that runs in scite here Seems like you need extra android software though, or perhaps your android device connected via USB in debug mode.
