OpenOffice for Android

Post by Miscreant »

Just downloaded OO to my LG-41c Android phone. It doesn't work.
Tried to open a letter type document, got nothing but a blank screen. Tried again, and repeatedly got the message "Open Office has stopped." Maybe this version isn't ready for prime time?

Apache OpenOffice doesn't run on Android. See here for alternatives.

That's odd. They say it does, and call it andropen office. That's why I downloaded it. It is a new version. You could check their web site.

AndrOpenOffice is a 3rd party build of Apache Open Office. They are not the same, though they may be similar.
In the link that FJCC provided you, there is a reference to AndrOpenffice
In fact the line is: AndrOpen Office is the world's first port of OpenOffice for Android (AndrOpen Office is not affiliated with the Apache OpenOffice project).
Note the section in bold
OpenOffice 4.1.7, LibreOffice 7.0.1.2 on Windows 7 Pro, Ultimate & Windows 10 Home (2004)
