So far there is no a simple easy to use tool to produce Android-
runable app using Lazarus. There are 2 options: laz4android and LAMW.

Unfortunately both of them are a bit complicated for new users. You
should read the instructions carefully. But you still need to have
more advanced skills, like understanding cross compiling, Windows
command prompt or Linux terminal command, downloading Android SDK and
NDK, etc. Luckily, all the information can be found. But, the
information is scattered here and there, some hard work are needed to
collect them.

My suggestion is try laztoapk. It will automatically solve the
complicated process like downloading, configuring the paths and
building the cross compiler. But, .... (oh ... too much buts). So far
as I know there is a bug in laztoapk when installing. Good luck!

Hello kabiri,

did you get it running with laztoapk?

Please follow exactly the instructions in https://sourceforge.net/proj
ects/laztoapk/files/Lazarus%20and%20Android.pdf/download
As Handoko already mentioned, the installation of the whole tool chain
is very tricky.

Regards,

Hello DelphiFreak.

Can you please check laztoapk to make sure it works correctly. Last
time I tried it, it failed to download laz4android, which I think is
similar to this:

Hi,

tested right now on windows 7.
Everything worked in the first go. No problems.

That's strange.

I can't remember the message exactly. I tested it not on my computer
(I'm a Linux user). It's something like connection error when
downloading laz4android. That was on a WinXP OS. I think it's okay, we
can simply ignore it as it's already ignored by its official.
