Try GTKAndroid.

It still has many limitations at the moment when I'm writing this comment, but you should be able to run some simple forms with this already.

Nothing is impossible. First of all, GTK library need to be coss-compiled. After that, the compiled library need to be deployed to android.

No, there is no GTK backend for Android, so you cannot create a GTK application for that platform. [image] pikhosh: all I found was about Broadway but I didn’t understand precisely how to use it to build the Android version. Broadway is a GDK backend that renders GTK applications to a web br…

And, maybe the biggest news: We have an Android backend now. It is still experimental, so you should expect some rough edges and loose ends. For example, there is no GL renderer support yet. But it is exciting that you can just try gtk4-demo on your phone now, and have it mostly work.

GTK4 for Graphical User Interfaces - of Dr. Stefan Salewski

November 16, 2022 - Android and iOS are not supported by GTK, but there is some early experimental support for the Librem mobile devices manufactured by the Purism company. As GTK is compact and has a modular design, it can also be used on devices with restricted resources like the Raspberry Pi family.

r/learnprogramming on Reddit: Is possible to use GTK to develop mobile application -IOS, Android?

April 17, 2019 -

I know it s okay for desktop application, I m wondering if it s okay for mobile application also to use GTK,

any hint would be great,

thanks

No. GTK is only "native" on Linux. You can build GTK apps on Windows and macOS but they look like Linux apps running in a window, there's no support for making true native apps on any other platform. And there's no support at all for GTK on Android or iOS. Android and iOS each have their own GUI libraries as part of the platform. If you want a native Android or iOS app, you should use that. There are also a ton of cross-platform libraries for making mobile apps. Flutter, React Native, and Cordova are just a few to help you get started in your search. Between those there are a lot of programming languages you can use. EDIT: to decide, you need to rank these in order of importance to you: Using your choice of programming language (vs the best language for the job) Making the app look really native on every platform (vs just having it work but look ugly) Making it work on as many platforms as possible (vs just Android and iOS) Great degree of flexibility / customization (vs one-size-fits-all) Large community of developers (vs a niche solution that isn't very popular) You can't have all of these. Pick one or two that are important and I can recommend a framework.

January 8, 2024 - Hello everyone ! I've been thinking about making a GTK4 app that acts as some kind of wrapper/front-end for Joplin. But, to be perfectly honest, I've no idea where I can start when it comes to the back-end. It seems that Joplin in itself doesn't have an API usable outside of the app itself, ...

April 28, 2025 - Well, my use case was to be able to build for Android from Gnome Builder, regardless of whether Android implements GTK. So I thought, why not just mimic a GTK-like API and then enable the creation of GTK-lookalike GUIs for Firefox on Android using HTML/CSS/JS?

r/GTK on Reddit: GTK4 for Cross-platform Applications in 2022?

May 4, 2022 -

I'm thinking about choosing GTK4 for an upcoming cross-platform desktop application, but one concern is the "motivation" of the GTK devs (and those that are both GTK and GNOME devs) for cross-platform applications since there doesn't seem to be much "stake in the game" for anything but Linux.

For example, back when GTK was truly just the "GIMP ToolKit" the "stake in the game" was obviously GIMP because it's a cross-platform application. But over the years it seems the GNOME desktop environment (Linux only of course) is the real stake in the game -- and not GIMP (Edit #1: I put a strikethrough for my information on GTK and GIMP's relationship as seems that was inaccurate, sorry). Is it really practical to consider at GTK4 for cross-platform applications when there's seemingly not much motivation for Windows and macOS? I apologize if my understanding is incorrect.

Edit #2: I ended up going with Qt/QML for this project.
