Creating Android apps with Godot 4, possible?

Ben1980

Hi all,

I am usually developping apps with with the Hybrid Quasar Framework, can Godot 4 be a good alternative or is it lacking important features?
Do Godot comes with Libraries full of forms, buttons and layouts?

Thanks!

Absolutely 0 idea what that is and never used so can't compare, sorry.

Godot has the building blocks, but you have to do the assembly and customization.
Example:
https://docs.godotengine.org/en/3.0/getting_started/step_by_step/ui_game_user_interface.html
That's from an older version of the engine. I don't know where that is in the later documentation, which keeps getting reorganized. But that older tutorial should be mostly applicable to the latest version.

There's also a community-contributed asset library, which may have pre-built stuff:
https://godotengine.org/asset-library/asset
Here's one example I found by searching the asset library for "forms":
https://godotengine.org/asset-library/asset/1390

That's one thing I miss from Android Studio, which has really cool layout features. It may be possible to use Godot and Android Studio together. I've experimented with that briefly, but haven't made a serious effort.
