Android export as .dwg

I'm new in Android and CAD. I need to do an app in which user can draw objects and after export as .dwg format to open in AutoCAD and make some changes. How I can export it as .dwg? Is there any java libraries? I found library YCad to deal with .dxf format. Can you please explain me disadvantage of .dxf? I will appreciate any help.

Teigha from Open Design Alliance can read and write dwg files. It also has Teigha.Java wrapper and can be used from Java applications. Take a look at http://opendesign.com/

The main disadvantage of dxf is that not all AutoCAD entities can be saved to dxf, dxf covers only a part of what can be saved to dwg.

You can use AutoCAD 360 (run on browser or mobile) and save on Autodesk cloud, then use Webdav to get the file. See https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.autodesk.autocadws

Or use AutoCAD I/O, which is a webservice, to generate .dwg files from any device (via REST calls). This is a data only webservice, so no wysiwyg editing. See http://developer.autodesk.com
