Transplantation of Native Android Apps onto J2ME Platform

Revati M. Wahul | Meenakshi Chandak | Neha Pandit | Kalyani Mote

Abstract: Google's open-source Android mobile platform has been a powerful competitor of mobile operating system and drawn the attention of the leading manufacturers of the industry and became a hot spot of research. As it adopts the virtual machine Dalvik which is different from SUN Java and its Java application developing framework and its APIs are absolutely different from J2EE a number of mature Android applications cannot be applied on J2ME platform. Thus, the general resolution of transplanting Android applications onto J2ME platform not only protects the existing investment but also enriches the applications on Android platform. Currently there is no technology available that will convert an Android app into a J2ME app. If we want to make an Android application work on the J2ME platform, it can be done so by building an interactive converter system. The interactive mobile system can convert native Android apps into J2ME apps with the facility of transferring data between the two systems with an add-on feature such as data backup. The interactive system will facilitate the user to have a backup of the call logs, SMS logs, contacts and multimedia and/or text files on the server. Similarly, there can be inter-conversion between iOS, Blackberry and other apps.
