[android-developers] Convert C++ command line tool to Android app?

2011-08-29 Thread Jack Harvard
Hi,

I've got a C++ command line tool, and want to put this tool onto my Android 
phone. I've done the helloandroid example, and it worked perfectly. My question 
is, what's the easiest way to port my C++ program to the Android platform. 

The tool written in C++ just needs a few inputs and then compute the output, so 
I would imagine a few text input boxes and an output display text box, nothing 
fancy in the GUI. 

Would appreciate any suggestion, also I only have remote knowledge of Java, but 
very comfortable with C/C++.

Thanks,
J

Look up NDK. Also, if you're very comfortable with C++ (I'm
purposefully ignoring the C part) you should have no problem with Java.

Depends on how complicated your C/C++ code is.  For me it was fairly easy to 
do a search/replace for some elements and change the function calls a little 
on a fairly complicated C++ library.  Tangible Software makes commercial C++ 
to Java tool.  I considered it for doing projects where a lot of code needed 
conversion.  Java is fairly easy to dive into sideways.
