[QUOTE="TheClone, post: 5385421, member: 90399"] Afaik the Android API is quite similar to the JSE, except for the UI libs. So you have to o have a separate UI layer and need to completely replace it, I guess. Is there a exact line drawn? I mean, there are quite some Android Apps out there that allow you to search the compendium or view your character including powers (which seem to loaded and parsed from the compendium). What are you allowed to do and what is forbidden? Is there any chance to use the compendium as a data source for a CB? That would make thinks a lot easier. Basically I'm really fond of the idea of developing an own (open source) fan-driven CB. it will be a lot of work to be better than WotC, but it is very well possible, because WotC leaves room for a LOT of improvements. If there is a chance to be able to really let is become a fully usable app that can compete with the official CB (concerning the legal side). I'm quite some experience with user interface concepts and I'd offer to create a full blown UI concept based on a solid usability process, supporting architecture and design, some programming work as my time allows and project management.
