GLPK on Android

About GLPK on Android Android App

This app demonstrates how the GNU Linear Programming Kit (GLPK) can be used on the Android platform. It is not intended to be a full-featured, consumer-friendly app. However, it can be useful in solving simple linear programming instances that are hand-typed into the app.

The primary audience for this app is the app developer thinking of incorporating some aspect of linear programming into his/her app. Basically, this app demonstrates that it is indeed possible to build and call the GLPK functions from Java code and have those functions do the right thing. If you download this FREE app for any other purpose, please keep the above in mind when providing a rating.

There are going to be bugs in this app. Since the GLPK is open source and released under the GPLv3, I have released all of the source code for the app on Github. I'll provide a link to that repository soon. I encourage any interested developers to grab the source, squash bugs, improve the code, and contribute it back to the project.

Basically I did this for fun and didn't intend to build a profitable tool. It sat on my local machine for some time, so I decided to free it to the world (for better or worse).
