Does the fact that different mobile platforms can use similar languages implies that you can reuse classes between these platform ? For example c++ code on iOS, Android and Symbian devices. Or is there some other things to take into account, libraries, etc. ? In the same spirit would it be possible to share C# code between iOS, Android ...
As the title suggests, I would like to create a mobile app that runs in the background and catches "incoming call" events. Moreover I would like to use a Cross-Platform Development Tool to do this. I looked at three tools: PhoneGap, Rhomobile and Appcelerator. But I couldn't find any documentation or examples that suggest they support s...
We have customers asking for apps that can run on both iPhone and Android. I realize this will mean two different development projects, but wonder if anyone has any advice/creative tips on this subject? e.g. Ways to maximize shared resources? NOTE: Realize making the app web-based would be most effective way, but looking for advice on...
Is this possible with, e.g., MonoDevelop perhaps? ...

I would like a toolkit that is usable by a commercial project (so GPL is out unfortunetly, but LGPL is in) without a large fee like QT. I have looked into wxWidgets (which looks awesome) but Clozure's FFI only has C bindings so it appears I am out of lu...
I am trying to list the disk drives that a system may have. On Windows, it may be something like "C:/", "D:/", "E:/". On Linux, it may be something like "/boot", "/media/SDCard", etc. And I don't know what it's like on a Mac. Maybe something under /Volumes. Does anyone know of a cross platform way (that is, one which works on Linux,...
Good morning everyone, Please read everything before answering. I have sort of an opinion question but at the same time one that may have a right answer. I'm trying to develop a suite of products and want to make sure that since I'm doing it myself, that I do it right the first time. I've re-wrote the schema multiple times, each time...
How can I determine the machine on which a given DLL can run. There are many platforms ARM, SH4, x64, x32. When I have no other information than the DLL itself how to do that? Background: There is a set off DLLs and some of them are not appropriate. How to detect them "offline"? SOLUTION Thanks for the help: the solution I use is th...

What is a platform-independent way of specifying the largest representable negative floating-point number? We found an algorithm that broke when run on a PS3's SPU, but worked fine when compiled for the PPU: float x = -FLT_MAX; /* stuff */ if (x > 0.0f) { // If x is unchanged, code is executed on SPU } Essentially, is there a wel...
