Wikipedia states "Android is an Linux-based operating system designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices...developed by Android, Inc., and backed by Google..", the whole article on these devices is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_(operating_system) here]. Windows based programs do not work on an Android as it is a different operating system. Applications for Android devices are accessible through [http://play.google.com Google Play]. If one goes there and types in 'Genealogy' or 'Family History' you will find a selection of applications to aid you with displaying your genealogical data files on your device. It is important to know ahead of time if an internet connection is needed, where the genealogical data resides and how the data is displayed on the android device. | Wikipedia states "Android is an Linux-based operating system designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices...developed by Android, Inc., and backed by Google..", the whole article on these devices is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_(operating_system) here].
