Hi all,
I found this forum. I'm searching for a generator that will read chummer files and work on android. Any help is appreciated...

I am not familiar with Chummer since I use Hero Lab.  Does Chummer have a PDF output?

What would be WONDERFUL is something similar to DnD Beyond for character management and a tie in to Missions... building an app is $$$ though...
That's just like... your opinion, man.

Chummer is a Fan project and not a official product.

That said, The creator of Chummer (Chummer 5 is alive) does visit these forums. He may have an idea of what may work, but i wouldn't expect there is such a thing for android.
Where am I going? And why am I in a hand basket ???

Chummer does allow outputting a character sheet as a .pdf, which you can view on an android device.

But as far as using in-game functionalities (buying gear, expending ammo, etc) I don't know of any android compatibility, nor of any plans for there being any.
RPG mechanics exist to give structure and consistency to the game world, true, but at the end of the day, you’re fighting dragons with algebra and random number generators.

HeroLab for mobile would be awesome too, hope they add Shadowrun to HeroLab Online soon.

I tried out the early versions with Starfinder...ok, but no offline was a real issue for me.

While i do think the new online generators and running tools are neat.
But i think discord is universally a more useful tool for this. In my experience Character Generators promote lazy character creation.

I really love Herolab, since it means I can go 'hm what about X' and find a quality with that in the description. Easier to find. Same for drugs and more. =)
