Do we really need Alien Dalvik?

I would be really surprised if Jolla/Myriad could provide NFC support for payments within android apps while they cannot provide file exchange over bluetooth within alien dalvik.

I don't think I NEED it. But i would prefer to have it. It just gives you some flexibility. Usually I don't use it anymore because for me all really necessary applications are available on sailfish nowadays. Anyway I use some open source android apps from time to time.

Why not go for sfdroid, the libre solution?

Btw. I've never used NFC in my life. I don't consider the whole Android Pay things a great solution, anyway.

It shouldn't be too bad actually, NFC works quite differently to bluetooth after all.

BT is difficult because of what controls the device, SailfishOS uses Bluez4/5 and Android uses Bluedroid and you would need to write some kind of middleware to translate. BT is also quite complicated compared to NFC which is mostly fairly simple.

The main trick with NFC would be around message routing, how you do know which app has the NFC focus at any given time between Dalvik and Sailfish OS.

Doesn't it only work on Nexus 5? Don't get me wrong, I'd much rather use sfdroid than alien dalvik, but if one is available and the other would require 6months+ of community hacking to get it partly working then there's a big difference to people who need Android apps for whatever reason.

Nexus 5, Nexus 4, Oneplus One, some versions of the Moto G.


Also we've moved on from sfdroid and are trying to get Anbox working on Sailfish, once we get over the kernel patch situation (issue being we can't get it to boot with a 3.4 kernel, ie. on my Nexus 5), then I can go to town on the anbox image and get sensors and stuff working.

I stand corrected, didn't realise it was working on so many devices.

Wicked. Definitely interested in following the development efforts, is there a thread for that & general discussion?

I didn't needed it in the past, so I don't know, how well it works. If it works nicely, I have no problem using sfdroid.

NFC is is the same for me. Don't really need it.

If with "we" you mean you and I, then yes.
