As I understand it, Blackberry has peaked and fading, I'd go for Android or iOS (Apple).
iOS development required a Mac, so the cheap option, unless you have a Mac, is to go Android.

Android is Java, so much of your C# experience is transferable. iOS requires knowledge in Objective C which isn't a big stretch but you would do well to buy a book on the language before diving in.

You are right to an extent . The reason I am saying this is because BB customers are of upper middle class and are ready to pay for good service. If your target is to generate revenue then BB is still the best bet. Rest depends upon your idea. For Android and iOS they are the future specially Android.

Midnight Ahri, the idea is brilliant but you rightly said that windows 8 is going to get launched. I would recommend you to go ahead with your plan to develop app for BB OS 5-7.

You must install Windows Phone 7.5. It's a good start!

I don't think anyone can help unless you show the code that handles this event. Please edit your question and add the code details.

Mobile application development strategy. Code ONCE, run everywhere?

Hi,

I'd like to develop an offline mobile application that runs on all major smartphone (Android, iPhone, Windows etc.). I understand that each smartphone uses their own language (Objective-C, Java, .Net).

Is there a way to code ONCE, then use the same code for all smartphones? If not all, at least the business-logic part of the code?

The issue is not so much the language that is used but the OS on the phone. Even if you could use a single language you still need to compile them into the correct object code for the different phones.

Look and feel is the killer. The UX for each platform is quite different. Your only option is web but your still going to have to compromise on the UX

People don't give out complete source code on this site.

You'll have to narrow your request.
