hello,

i want to start programming Lazarus for Android. I program with
lazarus several years in windows/ Linux enviroment

i read something but i am confuse:

1. What's difetent between Laz4Android and LAMW?. Do i need
laz4android ?
2. Is there any updated place where to read how to prepare all before
programming? ( Virtual android, ....)
3. Any important links where i can read to learn

I could be wrong but these are what I know:

In Android programming, you cannot use the common visual components
(TButton, TEdit, etc). You have to choose LAMW or Custom Drawn
Interface or to use other options, read more here:

ml#msg264428

You can use LAMW without installing Laz4Android, but using Laz4Android
is easier. Because Laz4Android already prepared the cross compiler and
installed Custom Drawn Interface for you. But you can combine
Laz4Android + LAMW if you want.

Custom Drawn Interface has some issue with Android 7 and above, as far
as I know the issue hasn't fixed yet.

Last time I use Laz4Android, it can't run on Linux.

If you choose not to use Laz4Android, the manually preparation is
complicated. You have to download the Android SDK, NDK and several
tools, prepare the cross compiler and configure them properly. For
Linux users, I wrote a tutorial here:

Have fun!
