This is one of the best Flickr apps for Android I've seen yet.  Could you 
please adapt it to work with Android phones?

thanks for your input. 

But for this issue, we are afraid that we have to say no at this time, because 
we're using our spare time to do this, to move this to phone means most of the 
UI will need to be updated, we just do not have that much of time. Sorry for 
this.

Hopefully with this being open source there might be some developer willing to 
work on something like this.

I might even be willing to give it a try myself; might be a good chance to 
learn how to program for Android.  I know the current requirement is Android 
3.0.  Is there anything other than the UI that is keeping this from being run 
on 2.2 or 2.3?

Agree that to learn how to program for android, it's better to get your feet 
wet, and this also is the reason we got started with this project.

To make this run on phone, 
1, from the android API perspective, we used some Fragment related APIs, but 
this can be replaced with android compatibility jar; 
2, from the API that talks to flickr, our contributor, Toby, is now working on 
that, you can get the source code here: 
https://github.com/yuyang226/FlickrjApi4Android. It's based on flickrj api w/ 
modification to make it work on both android and GAE, and more efficient. 
3, Because the different screen size between phone and tablet, the UI part will 
need re-design, this will be the big task, you know, the layout, and the way of 
screen flows, will need to be changed. Hopefully, the 'dataprovider', 'event', 
'fapi','model', 'services', 'task' package of this project might help.

Again, thank you.
