I may start porting an android application to blackberry in the next weeks.
I have my problems understanding the RIM documentation of blackberry development.
But I think I understand that I can develop an off line web application. An Application that runs in some kind of WebView but is written completely in JavaScript. Sadly I can't find anything to confirm this hunch.
Has anybody of you build a Blackberry app that loads a local website into a webview?
Is this possible? Are there any tutorials for this?
Every little pointer to further information is appreciated.
Yes, you can create a "widget" which is an HTML/Javascript application that runs as a native app on the device. See the BlackBerry Developer Center section on Web Development for more information (look for tutorials and videos for "Widgets").

I am a web developer, recently i have developed a android app using cordova.
But my application is slow, so i deside to developed the same app using andoid no native code. But the challenge is making same gui. i am new in android.
So my question is that what tools i use for gui design, and is there any framework like bootstrap? thanks in advance.
Maybe this might help: http://www.androidbootstrap.com/

Android app is also a browser app designed in xml, what kind of app you want to build if its an offline app you have design in xml but if it's online app (ex: playstore) you can use WebView it gives you a browser(with your webpage address hard coded in it) within an app and there you can open your mobile website.
Just like other apps do flipcart, jstdial, amazon etc.
Tools: Android Studio is best but for Start download Eclipse Atd bundle its comparatively light later you can switch to Android Studio.
Unfortunately there is no
and
www.androidbootstrap.com/
You have to do all your design in xml resource, where you can use tags like - style, selector, layer-list, item, shape etc. And these resources have to be controlled dynamically using java (in activity).
In Developers documentation of android (provided by Google) you will find details Style elements
Okay, so I'm currently looking to see if this is doable so I can hire a programmer. Can I implement let's say a messenger app that is on Android and iPhone just like kik messenger on a website, so the app would be available on the PC online too. If so what language(s) would complete this task? Thank you.
This is not possible using native Android/iOS languages.
These languages are designed to work on mobile devices, not on the web. This means you cannot just embed the source code of a mobile application into a web page.
You can however create a a web version of your application (depending on the complexity of the app). For example: you could create a web version of the mobile app using HTML, JavaScript and CSS. You could also (although slightly dated) create a Flash application and embed it in the browser.
Web apps are becoming more and more common with the rise of HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript. I recommend this book on building web apps: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Beginning-Web-Applications-HTML5-JavaScript/dp/1430240806
I am writing a Java program for my workplace, to help catalog pricing with several parameters involved. The current program implements JComboBox, along with other Container objects.
I have realized that our workstation will not run a Java program through Windows due to protective limitations, so I am hoping to transition to Google App Engine, since we can load websites much more freely.
The problem I have run into is that JComboBox doesn't run through Google App Engine. In fact, none of the Containers I was using will work in Google App Engine. The tutorials on Google Developers haven't provided the information I need.
Where can I find information on what objects I can use in Google App Engine to simulate a GUI with pop-up menus and buttons?
(I am using the Google Plugin for Eclipse.)
Maybe this link will help you, it lists all compatible frameworks: http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/wiki/WillItPlayInJava
For a higly responsive GUI, I suggest you take a look at the GWT: http://www.gwtproject.org/examples.html
In a nutshell: GWT allows you to write web applications with Java. Some/all of the Java is converted into JavaScript for better usability.
If you want to use Google App Engine (GAE) you can either use GWT for a standard GUI or a Java Webframework like Vaadin or JSF.
Ok to be more specific... can I program an android app in Java that has something like a web view to which I can point to local files on the phone?
I'm thinking about making an android game and i'm wondering if it can be done with a little HTML5 and Javascript that is locally stored on the phone. I heard something about a web view in Java and that is why I am wondering if it could work.
Is this even possible?
As the other answers might be correct, there is a much simpler way:
If you know html5 programming, you can do a simple Android app that has one Activity containing one WebView. In that webview you load your index.html and there you go. You can basically do anything you would do on a normal web app.
PhoneGap and Appcelerator are for cross platform development and they provide access to the hardware (vibration, sensors etc) and they give you the possibility to build the native UI with html and javascript. For a pure WebApp they are not the correct frameworks/tools I think. I might be mistaken, but a WebGL Benchmark I wrote for PCs worked out of the box in the android browser and I justed used html5 and JavaScript.
Your answer is yes, your solution is phoneGap
http://phonegap.com/
yes definitely,
check out appcelerator.com, phonegap.com etc
u can probably go to google "cross platform mobile development"
there's a few neat html javascript frameworks
It seems as if every Android application I really want to make is impossible to make with the current SDK. It doesn't give me access to certain things I would like to work with. This is an example of one of these things.
I know it is possible since I've seen apps in the market that do things that the SDK cannot do. My basic question is can someone point me in the direction of how to create such an application. I've searched around, but all of the links I've found are for developing with the SDK. A simple link to a tutorial that can show me how to access Android elements that aren't available through the SDK would be great.
Thanks.
You will not find a tutorial on it because the NDK is in flux..
What I have found is ..
One of the Eclipse CDT has blog posts on how to setup NDK projects in Eclipse.
The people who know Android Embedded C and frameworks are usually on certain IRc channel.
Plenty of code documentation..
Google search for android jni wrapper blog posts.
But keep this in mind several areas require state management as hey interact with hardware buffers in a certain way..ie audio..video..etc.
