When I first signed up on Buzztouch, I had in mind developing for both Android & iOS. I had a PC at the time and tried using that for Android & would borrow my girlfriend's "old" Mac to work on iOS. Since the beginning, I found myself getting more used to iOS than I was for Android and since I was building my very first app, I decided to focus on iOS. 5 iOS apps later, I would love to convert each one for the Android platform. There's been a lot of changes in the past year and I was just hoping to know exactly where should I start? In terms of the BT Control Panel, I suppose I'd have to create a "new" app so that I don't include iOS only plugins? My apps are PDF-heavy - I should probably use the "Intercepting Menu Taps" guide from Davi @ Buzztouch? How should I get set up? Sorry for the bombardment of questions - just a bit nervous diving into Android again! Thank you! -Nicholas Title Comments Hello fellow BT community!

I would suggest using maybe the custom html plugin, instead of pdf, because not all Android devices have a pdf reader. That would exclude many of your target users.
