Developing an App on a Windows PC and Running It on a Linux based Tablet
« on: October 29, 2017, 04:11:18 pm »
I have a program that runs well on Windows 10 and I want to run it on my tablet PC (Android 4.4 OS).  I can download and install Lazarus on Linux on my desktop.  Can I copy the files from Windows to Linux and compile them in Linux?  I know the ".exe" file will not work in Linux.  Are the other files compatible?  Also, my program requires a mouse to click the buttons.  My tablet has a touchscreen.  Do I need to change the program in any way for this to work?

You can't copy Linux binaries and run them on Android. There are many ways to build Android binaries (*.apk) using Lazarus/FPC, the easiest I think is using Lazarus Android Module Wizard (LAMW). Read more here:

Thank you.

I downloaded the program and looked at the instructions.  I was hoping there was a much simpler solution.

If you interested, I just written a tutorial for installing LAMW:
