RobNazarian Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I don't believe so. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FU3L Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 There's actually a complicated answer to this question, but it is possible, sorta. If you're the author of the java app in question you can get it running but it will require you change some things. That is to say Android doesn't support J2ME out of the box and actually was written as a more powerful alternative. So if you have a J2ME application that you want to run on Android device, you want to port the code to make best use of Android API features and achieve best performance. While basically all of the core Java libraries are there, stuff like Swing and AWT libraries are not, so your GUI will require an overhaul. If you are not a developer and are rather just looking to run something existing, perhaps something like the link below can help. I'm not certain it will though. Good Luck! http://www.talkandroid.com/51001-run-java-games-and-apps-on-your-android-device-jbed/ Also this supposedly tries to automate the conversion from jar to apk, but is likely buggy. http://www.netmite.com/android/index.html This bridging library may be of some use too, here you go just in case. http://www.assembla.com/wiki/show/j2ab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dboy225 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 so I'm assuming that this pertains to rooted phones only? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moon19th Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 No, I don't think so! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moon19th Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 As far as I know, Android device cannot support JAVA App. Maybe there is some other solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maciej Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 There's a solution for your problem, sshuvro58, or even two. First but probably you won't use it - some of android devices has java emulator installed in stock rom, for example LG GT540 can run java games and apps. It was my first Android phone and all files were working fine. Second solution - JBED. It needs root and works on better phones. Just download this ZIP file: http://j.mp/IuzllF (version for Android Gingerbread) and flash with CWM. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maynaard Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Yes you can install for your version of 2.3.7. You can search for J2ME in the play store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMittens101 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Will JBED & the Gingerbread work with v2.3.4? Netmite doesn't work. (Something about waiting for widlets -that never arrive ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
