I know the two hate each other, but I have done some research on using Oracle ADF Mobile to run Java on an iOS device. I'm trying to develop a way to run a Java applet inside an iOS app. The demos and tutorials I have seen have been less than useful in achieving this, and I'm stuck.
Does anyone know if this is possible, has been done, or maybe an open source sample I can look at to help?
I don't believe it'll work, but you can try add an applet to the amx file in ADF Mobile, and see if hows up, because the VM that oracle put on the iOS is really different from the one that is required for the applet to run effectively!!!

I want to develop an app to track people's Whatsapp last seen and other stuff, and found out that there are APIs out there to deal with it, but the thing is they are writen in python and are normally run in Linux I think
I have Java and Android knowledge but not python, and wonder if there's a way to develop the most of the app in Java and get the info I want via calls using these python APIs, but without having to install a python interpreter or similar on the device, so the final user just has to download and run the Android app as he would do with any other
I want to know if it would be very hard for someone inexperienced as me (this is the 2nd and final year of my developing grade), for it's what I have in mind for the final project, thx in advance
Instead of running it as one app, what about running the python script as separate from the original script? I believe it would bee possible, as android is in fact a UNIX based OS. Any readers could give their input on this idea an if it would work.
I am trying to port an Android application to BlackBerry 10 and make it look naitive. I have written all the QML for the app but I cannot seem to get the code to work. Do I need to translate the Java into C++ and if I do, do I have to do it manually or would an automatic one do?
Also my application has many different classes which I am not sure how to integrate with the BlackBerry layout.
I am trying to port the open source messenger Telegram, if that's any use. http://telegram.org/source/
Assuming you want to do a proper port and know C++ and Java, a full rewrite would be best. You can probably copy a lot of code from the Java source, but there's no way an automated converter or direct copy would ever work in C++.
Most of the processes in BlackBerry are the same as in Android, all you'd really need to do is rewrite all the UI code and handlers to fit the BlackBerry Native SDK
Edit - I know there are similar questions to this on SO, but I feel my specific questions are not duplicates at all. If you disagree with me please bring them to my attention before downnvoting or closevoting! If you can prove to me that my question is a true duplicate I will delete this question myself!
My understanding of the GWT is that it provides an SDK and API that allows you to code in Java, and it generates all the client-side HTML, CSS and JavaScript required to run a full-fledged web (or mobile web) app.
My understanding of PhoneGap is that it allows you to code against its JavaScript API and, through configuration, allows you to tell it which native mobile platforms (Android, iOS, Windows Phone, etc.) it should create nativee wrappers for. Hence you "write once, run many" with it, turning your JavaScript code into a native Android app, native iOS app, etc.
If these two assumption are incorrect, please begin by correcting me! And, if there are any caveats to these assumptions, please let me know!
Assuming my understanding on GWT and PhoneGap are more or less correct, I want to try and use them together for an app that would be available as (1) a web app, (2) a mobile web app, (3) an Android app and (4) as an iOS app.
I want to "daisy-chain" these two in my Ant build, whereby my pure Java code is converted (via GWT) into JavaScript (that complies to the PhoneGap API), and then a second build process uses PhoneGap to create and deploy:
A Java WAR (web and mobile web app)
An Android APK
An iOS binary (I believe this is an IPA file, but I may be wrong)
So with those as the "givens", here are my questions:
Is this possible? If not, why? Any way to hack- or juryrig-together a solution that forces this to work?
I've noticed something called gwt-phonegap - will I need this in order for my proposed solution to work, or would this library just be a "nice to have"? Why or why not?
Any other considerations I am not thinking of here? Other libraries or tools that would behoove me?
Note: I have heard (but am not asserting!) that Titanium is superior to PhoneGap. Titanium, however, is not free. And I am quite broke. Thanks in advance for any help here!
There is an open source project out there combining GWT & Phonegap to build mobile apps:
mgwt - http://www.m-gwt.com
There are many people out there using it to build mobile apps and there is quite a lot on documentation including videos there, especially this one:

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.

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 :)
I'm searching for information on how to create a j2me implementation. My target is a generic linux host... does it exist already? I mean a way to run j2me applications on linux without an emulator? Do you know where to find info?
Have a look at the phoneME project. It's not officially supported but it does run under Linux.
why do you want to do this?
the only reason I ask is j2me applications are designed for mobile devices. This means that you wont be able to run j2me applications on a standard computer without an emulator of somekind?!?
when making j2me apps in linux, the netbeans emulator has had everything I've ever needed
This looks like it might be made to do what you want:
http://www.microemu.org/
It's open source, so you can take it, tweak it, and make it run where you want.
