"Getting Started with Swift on Android" "FAQ [...] Does this mean I can write Android applications in Swift? No."

• M4v3R 11y ago
  To clarify - you cannot currently write GUI applications for Android in Swift, because no UI toolkit exists for this task at the moment.

    Well, thanks. I kind of figured it out, but still I believe it should be stated explicitly, because it looks quite confusing

      Consider it's a getting started, not a develop android apps with swift. Then it's explained in the FAQ, IMHO it makes sense.

        Not explicitly, in the sense that it tells me what can't be done instead of what can

        Getting started is a phrase often used for tutorials. Tutorials most often are for things that one can actually do.

        Which begs the question of why anyone thinks it's worth getting started if the outcome isn't something that anyone could do anything with.

  Aha: it's "(getting started with swift) on android", not "getting started with (swift on android)".
