I believe both Qt and wxWidgets have android support. Switching to another gui framework has been discussed in the past. While it's still a long term goal, it's not the only roadblock to having a gnucash app on android that shares code with gnucash on the desktop.
It requires a big refactoring of the core non-gui internals as well. The conversion to C++ is the an important aspect of this, which unfortunately got mostly stalled after the 3.0 release due to all the issues we have had with the forced upgrade to gtk3 (which was forced upon us by the removal of webkit1 from most distros close to the 3.0 release). Perhaps the C++ conversion doesn't have to be complete. There are two aspects that currently likely block a port to android (or ios for that matter): * some functionality is written in scheme instead of C(++). That can't be ported and has to be rewritten. * most of the code is heavily dependent on glib2, which we think is a major hurdle to porting as well. Good news is work on the C++ port is slowly picking up again.
