Does it crash instantly or shows app GUI for some time? Is your smartphone arm-based? Couldn't you collect logs with `adb logcat`?

Might be useful for me to port some D code for internal enterprise apps to Android that currently runs on linux (I recognise how experimental it is, but I'm okay with that since mobile is just nice to have, and not yet necessary). Will you be at dconf?

I just took his NativeActivity example and modified a bit to make dlangui's platform class implementation. I would be nice to have all Joakim's patches in upstream LDC and druntime/phobos.

It took about one week to make DlangUI android backend once I managed to build NativeActivity example by Joakim's instructions.

I would say it will take a week or too to make iOS backend once we have working compiler for iOS (in my estimations it will have 1K-2K lines of D code and 1K-2K lines of obj-c code.

Unfortunately, I have no experience with objective C neither with iOS programming.

Android port was easy for me because DlangUI was a kind of port/reimplementation of my C++ cross platform GUI library I used for my CoolReader GL project (e-book reader).

Please let me know issue you face when using DlangUI for mobile development.

No, I'm not planning to participate.
D is just a hobby for me.

What is the name of log file? Nothing is in SDCard.

HTC Android 5.02 ,it's arm-based,Not ok, sorry. Where is the log file? Path?
