Things to Consider While Developing with Java on Android
Java is the only language on the earth which has the largest presence in various forms in different devices. Almost every device we found on the earth is somehow related to java. You can think of a device and I will beat you that it is related to java. Starting from audio player, DVD, Set top box, Television, Refrigerator, Remote controller etc all are the examples of java products. In the core of every device, there is java. It is not just limited to hardware device; Java has the potential in developing enterprise standard web applications for its users. So, we can say java is within everywhere. Moreover, java is the only language having an undisputed track record since its inception. So, we can imagine the power of Java.
Why Java? Well, the best feature of Java is “Write once, run anywhere” i.e. once you write a java code, you can run it any platform. Hence, it is called as a platform independent language. It just needs a JVM i.e. Java Virtual Machine to run a java application. Almost all the mobile handset we hold in our hand is having a JVM inside it. JVM is very light weight and hence it is the first preference for any mobile device. So, we find many mobile apps, mobile games etc built in java. In the industry, there is a tremendous demand of java developers due to the massive demand of java applications. Java for Android: When we think of android development, the first option comes is Java; because, it has the largest volume of java apps for android. But there is a twist. In android device, there is no JVM rather something similar to that i.e. Dalvik Virtual machine. Then you may ask, if there is no JVM, then how can a java app run on Android? Yes, there is another option for the same. You must know that java file after compilation turned into JAR file and then it converted into binary codes. In order to run a JAR file, we must need a JVM; but, if we need to run the java app in android platform then, we have to think of APK file. APK file is the Android application file which can be run in Dalvik and get converted into binary codes. Take proper precautions: So, if you want your java app to run on android, you have to convert it into APK file and for the same you should take the help of any third party software or emulator that can convert the java file into APK format. There are many emulators available in the market that is extremely reliable and trusted. You can choose any of those to convert your java file to APK format. Once, you are having a APK file, then you can run it on android platform without any issue; because all the rest tasks are performed by the dalvik virtual machine itself. So, you can develop any type of apps, games etc for android operating system using Java. So, when are you developing your first android app in Java?
