Creating Applications...

---

Just thought I'd double check this before I buy, but it is possible to write applications for this phone using java? Soz if its a stupid question but thats kinda what am needing lol.

No, it's not.


However it should be possible to use the android SDK which sadly kinda looks like Java.

Thanks for the reply. Thats a bit guttin, I thought that android supported java (or a mobile version of java). To be honest I'm just really lazy and dont want to learn a new language lol.

Do you know if android does support java and its just this phone that doesnt? Or is this the case with all android phones?

What? It's probably not a good idea to go around spouting misinformation like this. "Irregular Programming" indeed.

Perhaps you may like to read through: http://developer.android.com/guide/b...l#applications


To ExO_PoLiTiX: you won't need to learn a new language, you'll just need to be aware of how the Dalvik (basically the java virtual machine Android runs) system works, and what you do/don't have access to.
My advice would be to read the page I linked above and then go down through all the pages in the side menu. There are also a whole bunch of example projects available for download from that site, all of which can be imported directly into eclipse, provided you've installed the SDK and ADT plugin.

If you already know java you'll find Android development will be a breeze.

you dont know how good that is to hear! lol I will have a look through the pages you suggested. Thanks for that. I plan on writing a game which uses the network features of the phone alot. My only experience of creating games is through java so thats why I wanted to use android =-)

Thanks again

Yup, I was wrong.

I was sure I've read about android using its own brand "Java-lookalike" language.

blahzay blah

You can actually import the main java (e.g. javamail) classes into your projects so android runs almost all of Java.
