XBMC for Android

Forgive me if this has been asked already but I couldnt see it.

I am considering buying a HiMedia 900B and was wondering if XBMC would ever come to android cos that would complete this box doing everything I need.

Just thought I'd ask

Thanks

One of these links will provide the answer.

Team,

the XBMC devs did an excellent and amazing job in making XBMC multi platform, and the arrival of XBMC for iOS brought a huge amount of joy to many of us! The upcoming Eden release will prove that to many more (new) users.

But there is a huge (and growing) audience out there that are still lacking the magic of XBMC, the Android users!

On these XBMC forums, many have asked if there would be an Android version of XBMC, but the devs stated there are no immediate plans due to technical challenges and that they lack a diversity of Android devices/hardware to be able to even start seriously looking at an Android version of XBMC.

So how about a little help and enable the devs to purchase Android devices (incl. tablets) and provide additional resources so they can free up some time and take a shot at it?? Wouldn't that be a nice holiday gift?

No promises, but without our help also no Android version of XBMC, so let's step up and donate!

Donating is simple and safe! and don't under estimate the power of even a few dollars. So please consider donating the value of a few beers, that won't hurt will it? ;-)

See what's going on on a daily basis, and why we should pitch in that extra dollar here:

ps. can this thread be made sticky please. It's probably worth the effort.

Team,

what does it take to get an effort going to port XBMC to Android please?

Several attempts (also by me) did not get any attention from the devs.

Thanks.

Search again because the devs did react

closing thread, this has been beaten to death. use search.

Ok changed my mind, since discouraging it does not seem to help, let's try something different.

Here you go. your very own android for xbmc sticky. You can fill it will all you want, just stop making new threads about Android.

I saw "Stickied" before this post and thought wtf? Davilla is off his rocker! Its probably a good idea to stickie though.

You're joking right? Like has been said, it's been beaten to death. Same as with PS3, Xbox360, etc.
