Simple answer: no
It's not a trivial process by any means.... |

Re: can we port .apk of android to a maemo app ?
In case you wonder, .ipk == .deb . This is the first out of a long list of similarities between WebOS and Maemo (and also desktop Linux).
Android is too different. This is one of the reasons I despise it. It is doable, sure, but not in an afternoon. |

riiiight...
1. I never tried 2. It's Linux - so i guess there should be source code available. Get the source, try to compile & i guess u will go mad after the 20th missing dependency... But u can do it in principle... 3. http://www.softrecipe.com/System-Uti...rcconvert.html They say u can convert.... I am on Linux for years & only to think about a tool that let's u convert from 1 package to another on a windows machine makes me shiver. Btw - .deb is the package u would want for maemo... I guess it's easier to try find a native debian solution. Maybe in some ubuntu's Netbook repro's. Still that will be *quite* some work if it's not allready here on maemo. If u don't understand what i'm talking about u will most likely not build the pkg by yourself too soon. By the time u prob. don't need a timetable anymore :) BUT - it's Linux & if u wanna learn howto do things like that u sure can! Maybe start to learn how to compile your first program all by yourself - best on a bigger (faster) machine than the n900 with any Linux. |

i undstood android uses java? am i wrong? if it is java: doesn't java mean you have to write a port to make it run? or is it posible to do some binary compiling from the java? |

what you're talking about (running android apps on linux and ultimately maemo) is what this developer is working on.

Android is not GNU/Linux.
Damn, this GNU-prefix now really DOES matter thanks to Google. |
