Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel on Android. Will it work?

I am trying out different apis to programmatically create excel documents. My main concern is that the api is as cheap as posible, easy to use and can be used in a comercial project without any restrictions. So I came across Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel. As I understand an MS office installed is a must so that this api will work.

I gues my question is: Is it possible to make Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel also work on android devices?

PS: Ugly but true: I may not disclose my sourcecode, so GPLv3 is out of the question, looking for sth with MIT license or similar.

  • I wouldn't count on Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel working successfully on Android devices. There are probably better tools for achieving what you want.
