#279 Release MOBAC as Android app
Hi,
It's a really great tool. It would be nice if you could provide MOBAC as an .apk applet too, so that you could directly do the following from your mobile:
* Create an offline map with MOBAC of the area he wants.
* Run another applet (a trecking applet) that uses the offline map.
By this way you can more easily prepare on the fly some trails or other missions from your phone, without needing to use your PC first, upload to the phone the atlas, and so on.
You can not simple re-compile an Java app for Android. That requires a lot work as you have to re-implement the complete UI. Also on Android the memory is much more constraint and all classes dealing with images are different which would have to be adapted.
Conclusion: A lot of work -> I won't do it.
IMHO if you want to store maps on an Android device it is the job of the map viewer application to download it. There are already Android apps that allow to do so - use them instead.
