Thread: iPhone apps with java

Hi guys,

I am new to this site but I hope someone can help me with the problem I have.

I know that now you can write apps for iphone on java using xmlvm, but don't really know HOW to write them. i looked at an example, where the main class extends a package called org.xmlvm.iphone , but i could not find this package anywhere. can anyone tell me how to build the apps that will run on iphone?

Any help is much appreciated!

I thought cross compiling one language to another creates code that barely ever works.

You then run these class files through the XMLVM cross compiler to generate the compiled objective C code that can run on iPhones. See the XMLVM documentation for how to do this (I've never used this tool before, so unfortunately I won't be of much help here). Here's the manual for XMLVM: XMLVM manual

thanks for your help, but I am not really an expert in java, could you please help with one more question? where do you usually get already built packages for java? I use JBuilder and when I try to include the package org.xmlvm it says it doesn't recognise it, where do you think I can get this package? it certainly is not on the xmlvm website and neither on the website of sourceforge linked from the xmlvm website.

thanks

Java is a wonderful tool for developing iPhone applications like objective C. There are so many applications have been developed in java. The How to Install, Compile, Run Java Apps on iPhone is an easy resource of installing and compiling java apps on iPhone.
