AndrOffice works off line.  However, your friend should test it before
he goes.  Also, while it works on a tablet, I'd hate to use it on a phone.

There are currency converters, on Google Play, that might be more
appropriate, though I haven't used any of them.





For any Wordprocessing app for editing, you really need to have an 
external keyboard, to save visual space on the tablet's screen.


Also having the portable battery backup devices to help keep a phone and 
tablet charged up between "downtime" [when you have access to AC power] 
is a must.  Also, you really need to take a surge protection device for 
when you charge your electronics. This makes sense even if you are 
charging the devices at home, let alone abroad.



OFF Topic. . .
You can download the language files for Google Translate, for most of 
the languages you can hear while online.  This may be good for a 
traveler who does not speak the native language for the area that they 
are visiting.


Having Translate and a good currency info app may help a lot.

The last I tried them, neither was ready for prime time but that may have 
changed since time passes so quickly for me now.

Subject: [libreoffice-users] Android version

Hi :)
Has anyone here used the AndrOffice or the LibreOffice version on Android?

Does anyone know if it installs onto the device itself so that it's usable
off-line?

I have a friend who is going off to a distant land where they won't be able
to use their hand-held phone but has created a spreadsheet to help convert
between the various currencies they will encounter.  I've never used an
Android so i have no idea what to recommend but i'd rather suggest a
LibreOffice or OpenOffice solution.  Any ideas?

Regards from
Tom :)

Hi Tom,
I've not had a good experience with AndrOffice - however the LO Viewer 
(from the Document Foundation) seems to work very well. There's also a 
developers option to enable simple editing, although I've not yet used it.
The LO Viewer downloads to the device, so you don't need to be online 
whereas AFAIK all the others need internet access...


YMMV.

Cheers
Gordon

Re: [libreoffice-users] Android version

Hi Tom and all:

I've used AndrOffice in my tablet. It has improved step by step. Now I
think it is, in general, stable for general perfomance that I've used
it. It has digital mouse and other special things. 

Another program that I've used is WPS (Kingsoft Office) but I think it
isn't free software like LibreOffice but it is free an usually is
stable.

My experience with my tablet (10 inch) is that the screen is to small
to work seriusly (For example to the job) or using digital keybord. To
modify something fast is ok and so usefull and help a lot, or to review
a file already finished.

I hope this words help you and your friend,

Regards,

Jorge Rodríguez

[Oogie McGuire]

Why not take one of the free or inexpensive purpose built exchange rate apps 
for Android? Some of them will download updated exchange rate data when 
connections are available and all the ones I looked at briefly allow you to run 
the conversions offline. 

I think that would be a much better option than trying to force that into a 
spreadsheet type app.

There is also Eurooffice, which is free for Android and can be 
downloaded from GooglePlay. It has also (non-free) versions for Windows 
and some linuxes.
