Hello
sorry, but I guess this is a wrong place to ask for creating skype on android using python.

Gideros is a lua based SDK mostly for game development.

But as far as I know, it сould be possible to do that in python but not with Gideros.

Quora is a good place to ask (and there are already some answers):

or Stackoverflow:

Hi bismoy2012,

As ar2rsawseen has mentioned, Gideros is currently more geared towards multimedia and game development and may not be so suitable for a project like Skype.

If you're looking for a toolkit for non-game app development without having to start from scratch using Java and Eclipse, you may want to consider something like Basic4Android (http://www.basic4ppc.com) which like Gideros (but more for non-game apps) has a pretty good integrated development environment (IDE), plugin architecture and a bustling and helpful community. I use it myself for some simple in-house projects and would certainly recommend it. (was so happy with it that I wrote a review for them on my blog too!)

I really need help. I want to create an app for Android/iPhone to where the selections are preset and my employee can go in and select the corresponding answers to each task. Then I be able to download the recordings to a spreadsheet or something like that. So I can print it off at a later time. and if this can be done at a minimal cost.

Thanks so Much!

@AlinaBillingsley although it might be possible, this is not what Gideros was really meant to do

You could for example try some quiz like template:

or maybe something even more simple
and store the data somewhere on your server backend

You are not in the right place.

Make a skype for Android is really complex anyway.
