I agree with Ted about getting things going in a browser. As long as it
is reasonable that you'd have Internet connection, that's the best way
to get all platforms in a reasonable timeframe and budget.
I'd also recommend Xojo to create Web Edition projects. It's as much
like Visual Foxpro as I've found that is reasonable in licensing costs
and development environment. It's not open-sourced but in this area, I
don't mind paying. Xojo develops for Windows, Mac, Linux, Web and iOS.
Soon they'll allow for targeting Raspberry Pi as well. The applications
are currently 32bit but they're adding 64bit early next year.
Here's some Xojo code that allows you to determine what platform and
browser the user is visiting with. HTH.
Sub ShowSessionInfo()
DIM sBrowser AS String = "Unknown"
DIM oPlatform AS WebSession.PlatformType = Self.Platform
Dim sPlatform As String = "Unknown"
SELECT Case self.Platform
Case WebSession.PlatformType.AndroidPhone
sPlatform = "Android Phone"
Case WebSession.PlatformType.AndroidTablet
sPlatform = "Andoid Tablet"
Case WebSession.PlatformType.Blackberry
sPlatform = "Blackberry"
Case WebSession.PlatformType.iPad
sPlatform = "iPad"
Case WebSession.PlatformType.iPhone
sPlatform = "iPhone"
Case WebSession.PlatformType.iPodTouch
sPlatform = "iPodTouch"
Case WebSession.PlatformType.Linux
sPlatform = "Linux"
Case WebSession.PlatformType.Macintosh
sPlatform = "Macintosh"
Case WebSession.PlatformType.PS3
sPlatform = "PS3"
Case WebSession.PlatformType.WebOS
sPlatform = "WebOS"
Case WebSession.PlatformType.Wii
sPlatform = "Wii"
Case WebSession.PlatformType.Windows
sPlatform = "Windows"
Case WebSession.PlatformType.Unknown
sPlatform = "Unknown platform"
end select
Select Case Session.Browser
Case WebSession.BrowserType.Android
sBrowser = "Android"
Case WebSession.BrowserType.Blackberry
sBrowser = "Blackberry"
Case WebSession.BrowserType.Chrome
sBrowser = "Chrome"
Case WebSession.BrowserType.ChromeOS
sBrowser = "ChromeOS"
Case WebSession.BrowserType.Firefox
sBrowser = "Firefox"
Case WebSession.BrowserType.InternetExplorer
sBrowser = "Internet Explorer"
Case WebSession.BrowserType.Opera
sBrowser = "Opera"
Case WebSession.BrowserType.OperaMini
sBrowser = "Opera Mini"
Case WebSession.BrowserType.Safari
sBrowser = "Safari"
Case WebSession.BrowserType.SafariMobile
sBrowser = "Safari Mobile"
Case WebSession.BrowserType.Unknown
sBrowser = "Unknown web browser"
End Select
System.DebugLog( ">>{SessnCnt: " + STR( App.SessionCount ) + "}" + _
" {ID: " + LEFT(Self.Identifier,10) + "}" + _
" {browser: " + sBrowser + "}" + _
" {platform: " + sPlatform + "}" )
End Sub

Can it be displayed in a web browser? Can it be accessible via the web?
Using industry-standard HTML provides far-more future-proofing than
designing for the device-du-jour. HTML can render on Palm Pilots,
Blackberries, Amigas, X-Boxes, set-top-boxes with browsers, kiosks,
tablets, phones, and next generation refrigerator-entertainment
centers.

If you were going to develop a simple app that displayed data in a database
that would work on android and Iphone, what language or tool would you use
to accomplish that? I know there are a lot of tools, but I am looking for
something where the learning curve is not too great.
