any demos with gtkD for android? I'm wondering if I just scrap 
the idea of using it because it won't port without a ton of work. 
Ideally I'd like to just cross compile and it all work out except 
for a few bugs.

I don't think it can be currently in an easy way. Qt has better 
android support it seems. Dlangui programs can be cross-compiled. 
You could also write a seperate ui for android but still use D 
for the core of the program.

The GtkD maintainer said a couple years ago he might try it when 
the Android support was better:

I don't think anyone's tested it yet, do you know if Gtk supports 
Android well?

The DlangUI maintainer did get his GUI library working on 
Android, as James mentioned:
