Convert Android app to Blackberry smartphones and tablets


The android app reads from database but doesnt write anything to DB, the app display a few web pages, and other simple things like list of search results...

Please note that I managed to convert the .apk file to .bar without any problems using BlackBerry automated tools, so, the code is compatible with Blackberry SDK. However, I to need create all necessary deployment files, .cod, .jad, .bar, etc,

how can I do that? is it true that I need to re-write it? I have imported the android project to Blackberry project and everything seems fine except class R it seems there is no class R in blackberry, what should I do to it?

To see the app on Android market https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hazcheck.dgl

Thanks for your continuous help


Solution

  • It's possible to have domain model and other parts same for Android, BlackBerry and J2ME. But be aware that it should be compatible with java 1.3 so you could miss you sugar like new classes, reflection, annotations, etc. This also requires additional effort on design and support level. And the last point the UI and other platform depended parts should be written from scratch.

    I would write BB app from beginning for your case because you're saying it's simple app and Android version is already finished.
