Develop Android App On Bluej


We are using BlueJ to develop simple apps in my an intro class for students.

I would like to effectively develop a basic Android app in BlueJ. Is this possible?


Solution

  • BlueJ is an IDE. So its just an editor. That means it would be possible, combined with the Android SDK- but practically it would probably be more painful than using Android Studio, where all the tools are built in. Please note that there are significant differences between an Android app and a Java app in the UI and the lifecycle of the application. So it isn't just taking a desktop app and compiling it for Android.
