Porting Android Library to BlackBerry 10

votes

we've developed our own library for Android development, which other developers can use for their own apps. Is it possible to use e.g. that .jar file or to port it for BlackBerry 10? So that BlackBerry developers could integrate it in their own apps? I have no experience with BlackBerry 10 development, but I know it's possible to run apk files on BlackBerry devices.

Any help and hints appreciated.

Do you mean that you want to port your library to C/C++, for use in creating native BB10 apps? Otherwise, while BB10 can run Android apps in its Android runtime, that would still be an Android app and an Android library. IOW, you may wish to explain in greater detail the nature of the library and the nature of your proposed port. – CommonsWare

@Don I'd like to reuse that .jar file (can be integrated in own android apps) for BlackBerry 10. Otherwise I would have to dig into BlackBerry development and learn how to develop apps for BlackBerry and other stuff. The question is, if e.g. a jar file which contains Android specific API calls, could be used as well for BlackBerry – pawlinsky
I think this usecase is for porting apk files to bar files. But I have no apk. I'd like to reuse an Android Library project for Blackberry development, if possible – pawlinsky
That will require a full-on port to C/C++. There's no way that you are going to use an AAR for native BB10 development. – CommonsWare

@sNore what are you thinking, is not possible because BB10 use C/C++(QT,cascades,and QNX) API. none of these API are supported by android(as you mention as .jar). you can utilize your library project/Code/jar in your different android project and then port your app's .apk file to BB10 using as @Don mentioned tool.
