To > answer the second interpretation is maybe more fun! I'm always for some fun, I just thought I should tell the OP what was going on. :-) And Qt can work on Android, with some effort. But you're absolutely right, mobile development can be quite harder than desktop, and the OP has some studying to do. I'd recommend he first tried some desktop development, a little googling on tkinter or PyQt can do him good, since he wants to learn about GUI development, even though it might not directly translate to mobile developtment. -- Joe
