  Hi Robert! Android app is the highest feature in the ranking list without a status. From the download page it seams you are working on it, but you said you are not. Please, let us know something more about Android app timeline.

  Mendeley desktop is a fantastic piece of software that has made report/thesis writing a much easier process... if it was available as an android app I might never be able to escape :-D i can't wait!

  I support all the requests for such a beautiful extension of a beautiful software.

  An android app would suit my study and research process perfectly

  It would be great if you could add android support. Especially when thinking about the upcoming android 3 versions for tablets.

  I'm working regular with Mendeley on my desktop. An Android app similar to ipad would be great to have a better excess to the library than only via web. Difficult to understand that ios was considered and android not, given also the increasing numbers of android tablets coming, e.g. Notion Ink, Motorola Xoom etc. or available (Galaxy Tab). Not everybody likes the closed Apple universe, and Mendeley itself is open so why no active development ?

  Now that Android devices are consistently out-selling iPhones every quarter, an Android app would be brilliant.

  Completely agree. Android phones is the fastest growing smartphone market right now and with all the companies doing hardware for supporting Android, for sure it will pass the iPhone market in the forceeable future. An Android app, a clone of your iPhone app, is a must.

  Hi rdmpage,

  I think file uploads via the API will be available in the not-too-distant future. Will have to check what the status is on that.

  Developing a web app using, say, JQueryMobile http://jquerymobile.com/ and the Mendeley API would be one way to address this problem. The Mendeley API is a bit limited, for example, you can't upload PDFs via the API. However, it might be possible to use DropBox as a way around this (assuming users store their PDFs in their DropBox folder), providing there's a way to map PDF file hashes in the API to PDF files in DropBox.

  I'm an iOS user, but the Mendeley apps don't work for me as my library is too large, so even iPhone/iPad users might benefit from such a web app.

  @dominichosler,

  Anyone who is interested is welcome to use the Mendeley API in applications for Android or other mobile platforms.

  Maybe this would be a good time to publish under GPL? Then the community might be able to make an android app based on the other apps you already have?

  Or failing that, someone might make a GPL version for android anyway that uses the Mendeley API so it can interact with the Desktop application.

  Hello Michael,

  We have our hands full with Mendeley Desktop, iOS and Web at the moment. We're not actively working on an Android application at present, though you can access your library via Mendeley Web from Android phones and tablets.

  Another vote for an android app!

  It would be very nice if the developers could let us now a (very rough) time frame for when this is coming?
