Please help, thanks a lot.
Is it possible?
In general, for some app, developers have to develop a version for Android while another version for iOS.
There's a tool called "J2ObjC: Java to Objective-C Translator and Runtime", but that'll only convert your Java code into Objective C (While you'll probably want your code in Swift). It also can't help with converting your UI from the Android to iOS equivalent.
You'd be best to recreate your Android app from scratch for iOS.

First, it doesn't work like that, porting from android to iOS won't work.
Second, we don't deal with Apple devices or iOS in any way, shape or form here at XDA, this site is for android, not iOS.
Go find an Apple forum.

Hi,
I currently am new to android and am starting to love it. I currently am a developer for the Apple App store and would like to transfer my Xcode over to android and start doing code in the android SDK. I have the Xcode and was wondering if anyone could convert it for me or send me to someone/somewhere that could help me convert the code for a small fee or for free.
The app is a simple navigation app that should be pretty simple to setup and initiate. I'm basically done with dumb apple stores and their rules that I can't make more apps because their tight wads. Anyways... any help would be great.
Thanks,
Brandon

Where does he say anything about Warez? He developed an App for the App Store and now he wants to convert it for Android use.
you got me on that one i completely overlooked that part lol my bad.
If you know how to develop in JAVA then you may have to write your code for your app again. It isn't easy to just "port" iPhone applications to Android.
if it were as easy as porting code from objective c to java then the market would be flooded with tons more iphone apps... you have to rewrite the app from a programming sense pretty much. there are tools with which you can write apps from scratch that will work on both platforms but you can't send xcode to android and expect anything.

I dont expect to convert it without any hard work. I basically am wanting to give the code to someone. Who maybe for a small fee. Can recreate the app for the android. I know it probably isn't going to be super cheap, but since the idea is already there. I was just wondering if anyone would be able to help me out on this issue. I just mainly want to have someone recreate my app, and then possibly do a small overview of how to make it function like my apple app in a sense.
Android Studio and XCode are completely different. You should rewrite the application if you are going native. You can use HTML tools such as Intel XDK, PhoneGap, Cordova for cross-platform apps but they don't have the power of native development.
Hi friends,
I assume that on XDA there are some very talented programmers and might be able to guide me with my queries.
So heres the deal. I'm planning to get my hands on learning c#. But the the catch is I want to learn it on my android tablet. The reason why I want to learn it on an Android tablet? Well I am a Computer graphics artist and want to get into apps and game development for android and ubuntu. AND I have time to learn programming only after my working hrs i.e at home. So I want put my galaxy tab10.1 to a better more productive use. Obviously I will not be developing apps on my tab because I have xeon and i7 systems at my office to do that.
So I did some Google and found this webpage very usefull for all the programming tools on android.
http://android.appstorm.net/roundups/developer/15-apps-for-programming-on-android/
So can anybody recommend or suggest me on how to start with learning programming on Android?
I think this maybe useful to many other new aspiring programmers.

I am not 100% sure but I believe you need to learn Java to make apps for android.

The point of this thread is "how one can learn and practice various programming languages on the android device itself"
EDIT: I YouTubed for learning c# and found that to begin with c#, if we are Windows OS then .NET visual studio is required and if we are in Ubuntu OS Google mono is required.
I don't if we may need Google mono in android.

C# is not a language you can easily code on android, or code android apps in.
If your looking to make programs for ubuntu and android java really is the best way forward, alot of game engines let you build a game in pure java and then easily convert it to a android game

I was under the impression that while you can get IDE's for a range of languages to do coding etc, if you want to actually make android apps Java really is your best bet
General browsing of XDA would have given you this thread - Android Chef Central

It sounds like he wants to do Android app development/Game development, not ROM development.
For general-purpose app development I would suggest learning Java and the Android SDK. There are numerous books available to help you, for example The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development. Older editions are free but I would recommend getting the newest one since Android is a fast-developing platform. The Android SDK site is also a good place to start.
For game development you have more options. Corona and Cocos2d-x are both cross platform (can deploy to Android and iOS). Corona code is written in Lua, and Cocos2d-x can be written in C++ or Lua. There are also a lot of other options available if you look around.
I'd still recommend learning some basic Android apps before tackling game development, though.
If you are an Android Developer can you share your experience about android development? How do you start in Android? What is the first application you had done... thanks!
Greetings onebluemidnight,
You should learn how to program in java, their is great tutorials on the web and maybe on xda,
Then start off with the android hello world tutorial.
Good luck
This is mainly for games, but I highly recommend the framework Cocos2d-x. Made my first game for Android using it
Can't post any links but name is "Boomlings" on Google Play.
Edit: Granted the power of linking!

I don't have problem with java because i used java during my college which is 2 years ago and i am a PHP programmer now
I am using Eclipse with ADT plugin and the great moment for me is that it is like a cakephp (PHP MVC Framework) structure whereas it has a Model->View->Controller
and i am done also with hello world tutorial

Hi there,
I am not a big android developer, just wrote 2 simple apps so far. I started learning Java then read an android development book. It took me about 1-2 months for the whole thing. I basically make a simple java number guessing game (the system generates a number and the user tries to match it, higher or lower) and wanted to port it to Android. It turned out to be a little more complicated than I expected since Android was much more object driven than my previous experience taught me.
You can look up my app on the market here :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.danielsarfati.NumberGuessing
I found the "Hello World" app was much to basic to teach me anything, other than getting the whole SDK and dev environment up and running.

I am in no way a android developer yet im just learning stuff at the moment ... I referred newbostons tutorial its the best as said the hello world app doesn't teach your anything ..I think the best way to learn in go through and understand the source of code of the open source apps

I would like to become a developer. Obviously, that means learning code, but which one? Also, I don't have a PC with Linux OS, so will that be any problem? What tutorials or ebooks or stuff like that do you recommend to start me learning?

Yes, that's right. To become a developer means learning to write code and apply those while creating a software.
Question on which one? is completely upto you because you need to know what are you aiming for. If you're looking for web application development, you may have to study any languages like PHP, DotNet, Java - J2EE/EJB etc.
If you're looking for Android application development, first step is to study Java, because its the main language used for programming apps. Then you can move over to Tutorials on Android development, and it will be easy. If its iOS app/ Mac specific app development, Objective C it is.
Not having PC with Linux OS won't be any problem, because you can do these in Windows platforms or in a Mac.
Tutorials = Google my friend. It has almost everything in the universe. Also in Youtube, you get the video tutorials.
Some which I could recommend is, for Java Oracle docs is good and "Java - The Complete reference" by Herbert Schildt is a good book too. For Android, you can find all resources in the App development forums.
You can try out the freepascal with a good IDE (codetyphoon), simple to make windows or linux graphical apps, or the visual studio express with c#.

Hi developers,
I started to -try- and develop an app for my fun, and a few questions came up to my mind - obviously they're not too relevant to me at this point, but I'd like it to be more clear:
1) Do I need to backup my code to websites like GitHub? Or I should save it on personal storage so it will be private? (Or both?)
2) I am learning from an Android development tutorial, so what happens if the app is actually successful, and there would be a demand for it on iOS or other operating systems? Does that mean the app idea might be stolen and be made for iOS and I will have nothing to do with it? Or it can actually happen even within Android (idea theft)
2.1) Regarding the above concern: I was thinking about learning to develop Hybrid apps, but heard they're not too good right now, are there any examples of decent Hybrid apps now?
Thanks,
Pan
you can develop both android app and ios app simultaneously.

Thank you!
But how exactly? Hybrid apps? Or there are migration tools from Java to Objective-C / Swift ? I mean, developing alone for both languages should be quite hard isn't it? (Not talking about me, but even for skilled developers)

As far as i know, there are many programmers including me write native codes for both ios android app.
Of course, it takes double time.
I never thought it's an easy task to develop an app.

Wow Thank you! I didn't really think that's the case, so I guess I should focus on 1 language now (Java) before studying Swift as well!
