[android-developers] Re: All SYMBIAN based end devices accept Java language Applications :: Need Clarification
Java is a very general term these days, to Sun it is a 'brand' , in corporate speak. What the statement is trying to say is that Symbian devices accept J2ME which is a subset of the Java language and API's for mobile devices. Android and J2ME do not really have much to do with each other, excpet for language syntax. You'd have to rewrite an application in J2ME to port it form Android, some of the core API's are the same, however there is quite a big difference between the two and J2ME supports far fewer capabilities. You'd need to be profficient in both J2ME and Android to do such a re-write, there is no non- trivial way to port between Android and J2ME even though they share language syntax.

I know nothing about S60, but I imagine that keeping your UI code separate from the rest of the code would be a good first step towards portability to other platforms. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
