wrapper like library similar to libGdx for regular Apps?

Miscellaneous Topics
#1

Hey guys I’m very inexperienced with App development but programming in Java I’m decent ish. I’ve been using libGdx to make games and one of the cool things I like about it is that I only really have to write my source code once then it can be deoployed to Desktop Android iOS and HTML,

I want to write some applications that can help me in my day to day activities as a student. I can write them fine in just standard Java but is there some sort of wrapper like library similar to libGdx’s functionality that I just described that I can use so that I only really have to write the Source Code?

Or maybe I can just use libGdx? The app I’m thinking of writting are simple time table apps, reminders etc etc.

You should just be able to use LibGDX just fine for that.

#3

Noncontinuous rendering might be of use in apps that don’t revolve around an update-render loop.

#4

oh nice BurntPizza that was what I was worried about. Seemed like a waste of resources if my app will do render loops. so now I know i can use libGdx just fine for that. Is there an obvious easy alternative other than libGdx?

#5

For what, exactly?

#6

for cross platform deployment that’s not meant to be for game development. Which may have some specific functionality for apps that libGdx may not.

Most (if not all) platform independent application frameworks/sdks use css3/hmtl5/js.

Well if yes if by ‘platform independent’ you mean ‘in browser’… :point:
JS on desktop is a fairly recent development. (and somewhat terrible IMO)

MP desktop apps are usually C/C++, but then most apps period are.

Somehow adobe (i mean flash/ air and AS3) is still alive: https://get.adobe.com/air/?loc=en

JavaFX can be deployed to desktop, Android, and iOS. The web is trickier.

Whoops, meant device independent. As in Android/iOS. Pretty sure the majority of them use CSS, HTML5 and JS for creating the app, which is then compiled to the native code of the device.
