Hi, can someone advice me whats the best software or programming tool to use in making a mobile application?
i'm only a beginner and i'm trying to make an application about physics formula where you will only put the given in the questions
and the program will solve it and give the correct answer. I'm making this as a thesis project, thanks for anyone who can give
some advice.

Start by deciding which mobile platform you want to develop for. They use different languages/tools.

Would Java apps work for any mobile platform?

The Iphone uses objective C. Java works for android and blackberry.

So it really isn't "write once, run everywhere" (or whatever the phrase is)?
And what about Windows Phone?

The problem with Java on iPhone is Apple won't allow a JVM on it. The result is that, while a JVM could be written for the iPhone, none will exist until Apple changes their stance on non-compiled code being banned. It's similar to their stance on banning Flash from the iPhone.
Now, can you guess why I won't be buying an iPhone any time soon?

Are you asking me?
Well, I would suppose that you're a developer, and you would like to be able to write programs for your machines/devices.
As for me, I'm used to Win32 programming (assembly language), so it's easier for me to use Windows.

Well, by splitting interface from logic you could at least minimise the effort for porting to another phone with a JVM.

Without being jailbroken.
A friend showed me this tool.
PhoneGap
Here's a resourceful link I found when searching for mobile development and cross-compiling.

Not exactly, if you want to publish on a iphone, you have to read a 200pages manual on how to display your element in your apps. And if you don't follow this manual, your app could be refused
And even if you use java, their always some difference between mobile platform, even between version, an app build for a version of android will probably not work for a other version of android.
Mobile programming a really a mess right now.
I really hope this gonna change soon,
But if you want to do a real multi-platform mobile app, you can always do a web site design for mobile
For now, in my opinion that is the best way... depend on what app you like to do
