Android to Bada

Question

Is it possible to convert my Android app to Bada Os?

Do you know any converter or anything else or should be written Bada Sdk again?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

I'm assuming you're suggesting a tool to automatically port it over. It should be written again. There isn't anything available that would effectively automatically port it over. Android applications are written in primarily Java, Bada is C++. Not to mention the API differences. It should be written again, both systems have different ways of doing things. Port it over to an equivalent app.

Answer 2

Without knowing much Android, Bada is based on C++ with a unique set of non-STL collection classes and a custom approach to object instantiation (even within the C++ realm). I'd expect a rewrite to be necessary.

Answer 3

Currently it is impossible to port Bada applications on Android and vise-versa but there are few exceptions.

1. If you are making widgets for Bada OS, then you can strait away run it on Samsung's Android devices. (with minor packaging modifications)
2. You can straight away port code you have written in Android's NDK to Bada... but that would be limited to libs only (not anything GUI)
3. If you are a game developer, I suggest you to use Air Play SDK, you can port Android to Bada and vise versa with few clicks.
