One of my goals for libpd is to implement a GUI communication abstraction layer, similar too and possibly building upon the work done for Purr Data's GUI. The end result would you could implement platform or framework-specific drawing but the main logic stays in "Pd land" so you don't have to recreate the widgets themselves as we've done in PdDroiudParty/PdParty. You'd only need to handle "draw rectangle here" etc. This would be similar to how libpd already gives you message and MIDI handling.
When I can get to doing this for real is another question, largely depending on resources and time. > On Oct 9, 2021, at 12:00 PM, pd-list-requ...@lists.iem.at wrote: > > Message: 1 > Date: Fri, 8 Oct 2021 08:55:47 -0700 > From: Daniel Iglesia <daniel.igle...@gmail.com > <mailto:daniel.igle...@gmail.com>> > To: "hans w. koch" <hansw.k...@gmail.com <mailto:hansw.k...@gmail.com>> > Cc: Pd-list <pd-list@lists.iem.at <mailto:pd-list@lists.iem.at>> > Subject: Re: [PD] Pd in cross-platform frameworks > Message-ID: > <canz10w24ddk6o9cnr3gzv5o46s84drvmhhfpdakm7smwomy...@mail.gmail.com > <mailto:canz10w24ddk6o9cnr3gzv5o46s84drvmhhfpdakm7smwomy...@mail.gmail.com>> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > > I use Flutter for my day job, which I highly prefer to native iOS and > Android development. > > (If I ever have the time and energy, I am considering rewriting MobMuPlat > in Flutter, which would unite 4 separate implementations (iOS, Android, > Java Swing for desktop, MacOs) into a single implementation.) > > While a Flutter GUI (and other layers of the app, e.g. data layer, > controllers, etc) is cross-platform, you will still need to have a 'native' > layer for iOS and Android in order to handle libpd integration and its > interaction with per-platform audio APIs.
