Hi All,

I Googled for Libre Office for Androids to help a friend use LO on her
Android tablet.

I found this...

https://www.libreoffice.org/download/android-viewer/

Anyone on the list using LO for Androids?

Does it come bundled with Libre Writer and Calc?

Thank you,

Charles.

Hi Charles and all:

  Until I know, LO for Android is in progress but at this moment as a
viewer only and Alpha or begining Beta version (not stable) for LO as we
use in GNU / Linux and windows.

  There is an other version that could help you and your friend: This is
Aoo (Android OpenOffice). It is a version of OpenOffice for Android.
I've used it and it works good (In general as I probed: Writer, and
Calc). It is the nearest of LO at this moment that I know.

  As I read, Aoo is based on OpenOffice but is not part of Apache
Fundation.

  I suggest to your friend that use keyboard and mouse with your tablet
too.

Regards,

Jorge Rodríguez

I asked the same question on the need of a office package for my tablet.

What I found out, for my 10 inch tablet, you really need an external keyboard to use an Android Office package.

I too wait for LibreOffice to get an fully functional Android version. While I wait, I will use the office package available - other than Microsoft's Android office options. Once LO has its version, then I will have LO on Windows, Ubuntu Linux, and Android.

There is another option: get a free account at https://open365.io/ and use
LibreOffice 5.1.0.3 within your browser.

If you install the open365 Android application you will have two
synchronized copies of each document: 1 in your tablet and another on the
open365 cloud.

The good news: if your tablet breaks all your documents are safe. The bad
news: because LibreOffice is running in your browser you can only edit your
files when you are connected to the internet...

It is currently the closest you can get to having LibreOffice on an Android
tablet...

Most times I need to use the tablet I have no access to the Internet.

Then when I get back to my home/office I upload any work to my laptop, and/or my data storage system.
