I have an app I'm writing using GtkD on windows. Eventually I'd like to port it to android. Since I have never been able to actually get anything to work on android I'm curious if there are any demos with gtkD for android? I'm wondering if I just scrap the idea of using it because it won't port without a ton of work. Ideally I'd like to just cross compile and it all work out except for a few bugs.

I don't think it can be currently in an easy way. Qt has better android support it seems. Dlangui programs can be cross-compiled. You could also write a seperate ui for android but still use D for the core of the program.

The GtkD maintainer said a couple years ago he might try it when the Android support was better:

I don't think anyone's tested it yet, do you know if Gtk supports Android well?

The DlangUI maintainer did get his GUI library working on Android, as James mentioned:
