You seem to be misinformed. Android may use a somewhat modified version of the
Linux kernel (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel ) but its runtime
and semantics are not compatible with the “GNU/Linux” (or so called
simply “Linux”) operating system - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux ;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_%28operating_system%29 . Namely, I was
told that care was taken to avoid using any code copyrighted by the Free
Software Foundation there.

For some of the problems that people have run into with porting software that
runs fine on Linux and other UNIX-like operating systems into Android, see:

Pidgin cannot have clients, because it is purely a client. I wonder if 
you are confusing Pidgin with the services it accesses (as is common 
amongst Oracle employees).

An SMS for Pidgin exists for Android‎ that I can install on my BlackBerry10 and 
I could highly likely install the MS Windows client


If you can install Pidgin on Linux, then you can install on Android - because 
Android is Linux, and if you can install on Android you can install on 
BlackBerry10 ‎

No, the necessary libraries to run Pidgin on iOS do not exist.
