Is it possible to run Java in Android?

[twatllama]

Hi, I'm new too the forum as well as new to Android.
I'm wondering (and couldn't find any post) if it's possible to run java applications in my Milestone (those apps with .jar extension).

Thanks in advance
F.

You can call out to jar libraries from within an Android app. Does that answer the question?

Thanks for your reply. I'm not sure if this answers my question.

I moved to android from windows mobile, in that OS there was an option to "install" java applications (.jar or .jad), after that I run them as any other application.

Thanks
F.

You can run J2ME stuff with apps like http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-netmite-andme-tqm.aspx

Scan the QR code with the Barcode app and download it from the Market. Or just search for it on the Market.

Can you run full JARs with the full Java SE? Not that I know of.

Hi,
You cannot run J2ME apps in Android. You need to convert them. Try UpOnTek's conversion service: www.UpOnTek.com
