Pandocs in Android for File Reader/Editor App

Pandocs in Android for File Reader/Editor App

[Encore Software]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 898 bytes --]



I want to create reader/editor app. For that I came to know Pandoc 
<https://pandoc.org/index.html> is there which is basically universal 
document converter. So my question is how we can use pandoc in android as 
it is Haskell library for converting from one markup format to another, and 
a command-line tool that uses this library.

Is there any other tool available for reader/editor app which supports 
multi format type converter and reading/editing functionality in android app

If you want to create an application that runs Pandoc on Android, you 
can be sure that it is possible. I am using Pandoc on my Android phone, 
but it is not the easiest thing to run apps from POSIX-compatible 
environment on Android, which differs from an ordinary Linux system a bit.¹

I am currently planning writing an application for authoring documents 
with Pandoc on both Android, „typical desktop Linux/Unix-like systems“ 
and even Windows. If you can wait few weeks, I'll open-source it. (If I 
make it running on Android.) I plan releasing two apps: one for general 
document authoring (and converting), and other one a bit specialized 
(and maybe presentation authoring tool etc.).

You can be sure that making sure that the Pandoc binary that you will 
include in your app will not work on some devices. Writing compatible 
Android apps is hard, and even harder when you are porting them to Android.

Other tool? There is a lot of them, but probably only Pandoc is so much 
versatile.


¹ Android is Linux-based system, but there are some modifications. Most 
notably that it does not follow the FHS.
