Is there a library/framework/toolkit/whatever to make native GUI Android apps in rust? That's what I'm missing. I'm not interested in creating a web app as an Android app. Tauri looks interesting but it's not for me. And that's fine, because there's a whole lot of people who would use it, I'm sure.
- flohofwoe 4y agoThe problem is usually that all the Android APIs are designed for Java/Kotlin and extremely opinionated on top. Using those APIs from other languages is a royal PITA. That's why webview apps are so popular in the first place, because you don't need to deal with the actual Android APIs.

- pedalpete 4y agoThis is what we are looking for as well. We started using Kotlin Multi-platform (KMM) a little while ago thinking it would be nice to separate build native UI and shared components which drive our logic. Unfortunately, it hasn't worked out that well for us. Devs aren't liking it, and finding that the shareability of code, particularly because of bluetooth, is making things more difficult than it needs to be.
