CORBA no.  However, you can do client server apps using ICE from ZeroC
(http://www.zeroc.com/labs/android/index.html).  I did CORBA
programming several years ago and stumbled onto ICE a year or so ago.
I've not done anything other than simple stuff, but from what I've
seen it is fairly easy to use...especially compared to CORBA.

 Hi all !

 I just have a quick question. Is it possible to use CORBA in an
 Android app ? Because I learned how to use it at school, and I was
 wondering if I could use it with Android to create multi-users
 applications/games without using a server...
 I searched Google and the Groups, but I got nothing...

 Thanks for your help and your time :)

An ORB ships with Java--has since 1.2. Find a Java ORB tutorial, give that a
shot. My guess is it'll work as long as you're asking it to be a
client--asking the Android device to be a server will probably fail for all
the reasons Mark lists below.

Java RMI/IIOP should also work, as would RMI/JRMP, which is probably easier
to write.

 Many mobile carriers do not give phones public IP addresses, using NAT
 and firewalls. It is highly unlikely that you will be able to
 establish direct peer-to-peer connections between phones over 3G. For
 devices working on a private LAN, it is far more realistic.

 But, if you can find an open source CORBA library for Java and can
 port it to run on Android (may take no effort or a lot), you are
 welcome to experiment with it.

But not with Android, AFAIK. RMI, for example, is not available.
