Android Question Building and deploying JavaFX Applications for android?!

[rboeck]

Just found this page:
https://bitbucket.org/javafxports/android/wiki/Building and deploying JavaFX Applications

Is this an realistic idea?

 

[HotShoe]

It's certainly doable, but realistic depends on your goals. I haven't used that package, but I assume it's similar to the firemonkey method that embarcadero use for the xe5 compilers. The downside is .apk file size and speed, especially when expanded. Typically 18meg for an app with only a blank activity, and it takes several seconds to load on a fast device (S4).

So, yes it can work, but it has trade-offs.

You have a much better option. Write the desktop app with B4J and the Android app with B4A

For android is it clear,
But have you seen the iOs and rasberry possibilities?

 

[Erel]

I only see references to Android on this page.

Your existing B4J app will run on Raspberry Pi boards as is.

Hi rboeck,
Sounds so good. I found another info. Perhaps, B4J and B4A could merged together,Basic ForAll will born.

Hi all,
B4J and B4A are very good. Now I wondering,
Is there a converter to Convert the javafx Scene to a B4A Scene in the Designer.
If so, you don't need to redesign your screen when you go to B4A.
I hope someone has build this.
