Since the iOS version is released (a very big congratulations by the way) its thread should be for iOS questions only....
I would like to know if there are plans for an Android version anytime soon (by soon I mean in the next year or so....)
I do hope you bring it to android (cardwarden almost refuses to) it is the last major program that I am looking for on a mobile device....
TLDR: Congrats on iOS, do you plan on Android?
If I'm not mistaken, the main hurdle to an android app at the moment is the fact that Trevor doesn't have an android device to do his testing on.
Oh.... I guess that would do it....
Do you think people would go for a PayPal kind of thing to pool funds so he can get one?
If I got enough money for one, I'd make one. It would be pretty simple to port, I would think. What model of android would you suggest would make a good device that is typical of android devices?
Mine's a Google Nexus 7. I've tried out a few of the others. It's not the cheapest one on the market, but it has some nice storage space and processing power which is why I like it.
Mine is a Nexus...
It appears to be a common brand along with the Galaxy....
Genymotion is a Android testing median. If you want to test internet aspects, gotta pay($136 USD if i remember right). Never used or anything but it's still an option. There is a free to use option(just make a free account, download and install). I'd love to get my hands on Lackey on my driod but i'm also broke/jobless...

At $136 wouldn't it make more sense to just get a real device?
Is there something different about an emulator than working with a real device?
As a test for the multiple devices, it could be a better option using the free-2-use option instead of buying so many different devices...

Could you put up a kickstarter? I don't quite know there terms of service.
How much are you looking at?

Well, you could simply borrow someones android, no doubt you'll make enough money off android sales to probably afford your own device. I'd highly recommend getting an Nvidia shield.
Quite frankly, an Android version of lackyCCG would be a dream come true for most of us.
[Facepalm] There are other ways to go about Android. I've mentioned before back in the last post I made to the Ipad version that the development kit includes an android emulator.
I even provided a link to the compiler and a place that teaches how to program android.
there's also Bluestacks which is an excellent android emulator for windows,working basically 100% like a real phone\tablet and extensively used as a testing ground for devs.oh and its free
Emulators don't work well for developing things like an interface. You don't know if a button is going to be a nice size or in the right place unless you are holding the device.
Unfortunately with an android, checking the button size will only show you the size for that one device. Unlike iphone and Ipads, there is no standard android sizes, each device varies considerably. Most emulators on the other hand have the ability to change the screen size to any you would like to check. This enables you to test many devices at a low cost. And as far as I know the android sdk's emulator is superb.
If emulation would be a problem, I would be happy to donate towards a device for you to develop on.
How about making one for a 7 inch tablet? Most I have seen use an arm 9 processor and should be plenty fast enough.

Thats one of the main reasons I haven't ported it to android. I don't have one to test on.
I don't know if this is being discussed elsewhere, but I really want to see this on android. Any updates?
I'd really like this as well. Especially as a single-player board that I can take to a friend's and we can play, say MtG, on our own devices in front of each other. Would an Android emulator be sufficient?

And 2 desktop emulators designed specifically for developers for testing.

It's my understanding that the emulators would help to a point, but then so would having an actual android device. If I had a spare android tablet laying around, I'd certainly consider mailing it off to Trevor. However I've only got my one tablet. Heh. ;-)
there is always bluestacks http://www.bluestacks.com/ (http://www.bluestacks.com/) which is a virtual tablet on your pc and can run android apps from the app store i use it to play various mobile games on my pc
Hey y'all, I want to donate an android tablet to Trevor and was wondering if anyone would be interested in helping to pay for shipping cost and a charging cable? It's a Galaxy Tab 3 which doesn't use a standard micro USB. Hit me up if interested in helping out. Cheers.
Trevor would need a whole team of Android developers to do something on Android, because what works for one is not for all Android tablets. Different Android divices have different base programs and file systems. That is why many Android apps do not work on other certain types of Android devices. I do not envy the private programmers that have to contend with it all,
