Is it possible to run java app (jar) in my android application? Because I need to create PDF, the problem is if I generate PDF in android, only can show with small image, if it contains large image in many pages, it will be error. So I think, I can generate PDF in java and then included to android app.
Concernig the mentiones app JBED:
Well honestly, I could not find any credible source for this tools JBED, so I would really be very cautious (e.g. who is the developer?)
In the manifestfile (in Androidmanifest.xml, where every app has to state what rights it needs to run, see How to view AndroidManifest.xml from APK file?) there are many rights mentioned (what could be necessary, as the app wants to run as an emulator), so a java application might want to send an SMS, record audio, take pictures and place calls -- so the emulator would need those rights as well.
But then the app also registers the "android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" event (i.e. autostart after boot) and this would go against every description of the tool.
Ah yeah and giveaway: The apk has a folder "certs" that has some (root-)certificates. But those are not the real certificates of the authorities, e.g. Versign. If one installs the app and by that those certificates the trust you might have in https-connections is lost because those who made the fake certificates can create own, false certificates that your phone would trust.
I assume (or am pretty sure) this is a spy tool, but I could be wrong. The (rare) testimonials that claim the tool ran perfectly will probably be the same person that posted the tool under a different name.

You can import java Third-party libraries into Android app, follow the steps here.
I am not sure whether it will work,but just try.
If your program is a console program, the answer is yes.
Install Jvdroid from Google play. Click terminal and then write this command: java -jar YourJarFileName.jar
The simplest way would be to some install terminal emulator and then install java and then you can run java apps on standard java. You can even install full Linux distro with x server without rooting the phone, then connect to it from x client and you have Linux desktop on android. Once I've even installed eclipse for java development on it and everything worked. I tested this setup last time in 2014, but I'm pretty sure you can do this nowadays as well. The app with Linux I get from play store as well app for the x client. The app I used back then was "Debian no ROOT" or smthg like this. You need to check what's currently available to make this setup in Google Play store according to your android version and your preferences. Last time I've checked there was a lot of different tools for this kind of task. Lastly I've even successfully installed TF and keras on my android phone using terminal emulator.
You can use JBED. JBED is an .apk Android application which run java games and app on your android Device. JBED is a java android emulator, by using
this application we can install .JAR/.JAD/Java/J2ME/MIDP app on android phones.
You can do it quite easily as there are many ways to run java apps on android. Specific application called Java Emulators can do it quite easily.
These are four most popular java emulators for android viz, JBED, PhoneME, Jblend and NetMite. These are arranged in order of their preference. You can use phoneme for non rooted device, however if your device is rooted try any of the remaining three applications.

I downloaded the Android studio and installed it. When I launched it, it's all "graphical". My screen reader is reading nothing on it.
I'd prefer if I could use my Notepad app, but the "stand alone" tutorials are too tiresome, and not many tutorials on the web have instructions making apps using Notepad. I wanted to know if there is an alternate IDE, or another way to code Android apps?
The Java IDE Eclipse is also not very compatible with my screen reader. I use JAWS screen reader by Freedom Scientific. I used to code Java desktop software using my Notepad, so I'm familiar with programming using Notepad.
Also, if I somehow figure out how to make Android apps using Notepad, how am I going to test them? Do I need a phone? I'm sorry for all these beginner questions, but I'm a beginner :)
You can follow this link:
http://developer.android.com/tools/building/building-cmdline.html
If you only want to build, not run, you don't need a phone. If you want test without a phone you can use an emulator by running"AVD Manager.exe" in Android SDK folder.
The good thing since the transition to android studio is that now the building of an android project is done using Gradle and can be piloted entirely by command line. So technically, you don't need an IDE at all.
Basically, every project has at least a build.gradle file that contains the instructions to build it. You only have to launch Gradle with the appropriate command to compile your app.
Yelliver mentionned the tools to build the app from the command line, there are also tools to create the project structure and the basic build files: http://developer.android.com/tools/projects/projects-cmdline.html (this documentation appears not to be entirely up-to-date, though, as it mentions the old project.properties format)
Having a phone to run your app is certainly going to be nicer and faster to develop. The emulator is far from perfect, quite slow, and sometimes not responsive. It is also easier to install other apps on your phone than on the emulator, in case your app interacts with other apps.
I wrote two small scripts for Android development without using Android Studio. They are building apk and installing it on the connected device and opening the logcat with the output of the installed application. This two scripts not even near to complete when to think all the features of the Android Studio but they are allowing to at least run the project on your phone.
I want to install the TeamViewer software automatically on client's android device remotely using java. I have researched about a number of third party tools for automatic installation of software but the problem is that each one of them needs user interaction/permission in one or the other way.
In my app I will disable the touch of the device after the user logs in and an animation will be displayed based on the real time data from the server. I want to install the software assuming that no user is present at the other end and no response should be needed to install teamviewer.(My app will not there be on Google play.)
I am very new to android development, but through my research I found that .exe file can not be installed on Android as its a Linux based OS.I was planning to keep the Application(.exe) file at server and then try to install it issuing some adb command from my code.
Can someone please tell me how is it possible? How should I proceed? Please help.
Thanks in advance for any help.
There are two way for installing an App on an Android device:
Via ADB. This requires Debugging to be enabled on the device, and the computer the Java program is executed on requires an USB connection to the device (and proper USB drivers) and the device must be "ADB-paired" with the computer if the device has at least Android 4.2. Furthermore you need ADB which is part of the Android SDK and therefore not present on a regular PC. You could ship a version of ADB with your program but ADB is platform specific (Windows, OSX, Linux, ..) therefore you would have to include multiple versions and select on.
Vis Google Play. Once the user is logged-in any app from the play store can be installed to the users's device via web interface. As the Google log-in credentials are required a user must be present to enter them.
Conclusion: What you want is nearly impossible, especially the "without user interaction" part.
You can't install a app from other app without user interactions, that would a big security problem.
The one app that can it is Google Play for obvious reasons.
I have recently started programming for the Android platform. I have a simple application which I would like to email to someone so that they can execute the application and check how it works.
I am currently using the Emulator in the Android SDK to execute my application but the person who I am emailing it to does not have Android SDK and it would be a mission to send the whole project folder.
Is there any way that I can send just one file such as an .exe or something that would allow the recipient to execute the application to see how it works.
Thanks so much for your help in advance guys
The "exe" for android is called apk. I suggest you to look at this question. You'll need to build the apk and sign it in order to be able to run it.
If you just want to send it to a user for testing purposes, you can enable the setting in the target android device to allow "unknown sources" (I don't know the proper english name, as I don't have an english android here at the moment). You can find this in the app settings.
In your development environment look for the apk file created by eclipse. Then connect your smartphone to the pc and copy the apk over. Start up a file manager and click on the apk and it will install just like any other app.
If you want to deploy it properly, you have to sign it and probably follow the procedures from google. Since I don't have a fully deployable app yet, I can't say what the procedures is for that, but the google site is very helpfull on all aspects about android programming.
Check the "bin" folder in your project path. There you will have a .apk that you can share with your clients.
If they execute it in an Android mobile phone the application will be installed.
What alteration should be made in a Java Application to be able to install it on Java Enabled Smartphone?
I tried using a random app of mine to see what happens, when I open it on the cell, it says Install? I say yes, and it says invalid file.
Now I was wondering what alteration should be made?
My smartphone (Samsung S8500) runs on bada which is more or less the same as Android, but alterations in the General.
You need different SDK for smartphones. Like for Android, you need Android SDK 1.5 or any other version. You just cannot install the same application. You need to develop using the resources provided by the SDK.
If your application is Java based mobile application then you can use some tools to convert it for Android. Doesn't work every time but worth a try.
In your case, Bada OS is not like Android what i learn from here. So, you need to develop the application using J2ME .
Lately I've been doing a lot of web development on my Droid via ssh using the ConnectBot app and a few other apps for reference. I've also been doing a lot of Android development back home in eclipse, and I wondered: would it be possible to develop and test my android projects right on my phone? All I can do at the moment is either write the code via ssh and then open it later with eclipse to finish it up, or remotely use eclipse via LogMeIn Ignition or VNC. Does anyone know a native way to do what I'm trying to do, preferably offline?
Try AIDE. I use it because it supports Eclipse projects. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aide.ui
Not sure if this hits the target you're looking for, but The Scripting Layer for Android (formerly known as the Android Scripting Environment) is available and has a lot of power available to it.
Scripting Layer for Android (SL4A,
formerly known as Android Scripting
Environment or ASE) brings scripting
languages to Android by allowing you
to edit and execute scripts and
interactive interpreters directly on
the Android device. These scripts have
access to many of the APIs available
to full-fledged Android applications,
but with a greatly simplified
interface that makes it easy to get
things done.
Scripts can be run interactively in a
terminal, in the background, or via
Locale. Python, Perl, JRuby, Lua,
BeanShell, JavaScript, Tcl, and shell
are currently supported, and we're
planning to add more. See the SL4A
Video Help playlist on YouTube for
various demonstrations of SL4A's
features.
I found DroidScript. It's a quite powerful JavaScript interpreter thats based on the Rhino-library. It can import every Java-package and even create activities for starting from the launcher. The URL is http://droidscript.se for the Live-Editor with which you can edit scripts online and send them to your phone, and the droidscript-app has an editor, too but it cant save at the moment, i think. DroidScript is Open-Source and embeddable in an own app, I think. More info on news of DroidScript are found on droidscript.blogspot.com.
check out JAVAIDEDROID on the market
You can if you have a remote linux machine that you normaly develop on.
ssh into the machine with some ssh app.
edit the code with some console text editor (vim for example).
build the application with ant
copy the generated apk into the android phone and install it
repeat from point 2.
Good luck!
I really don't know if it's possible, but to do it, you should:
"Install" java inside Android.
"Install" ant
run ant debug
Check this link for more instructions.
PS: Please let us know if you could do it :)
