I guess I have lots to learn. :) I thought all Android apps are Java (JVM) based? What is the difference between Native and JVM Android apps? Does Android have a X11 server? > The > corresponding links where in this thread already I'll start reading that tonight.

I'm planning on paid apps from the word go (yeah, jump into the deep end and see if I can swim!). I'll do some more internet searching on this tonight. If I find an answer, I'll add a section to the FPC+Android wiki page. Others might find that info useful too. > After Canonical has announced yet another display server just when Wayland > was starting to off they are more of less dead for me... Oh, changed there minds again. I have dropped Ubuntu since they moved to Unity, so don't follow them closely these days. >From your reply to Michael, I assume LCL's Customdrawn-Android backend will generate a "native" Android app? Still not really sure the difference between Native and JVM apps. As I said, I thought all apps on Android was Java-based, thus runs in a JVM.
