I can't say I'm experienced to run C++ under Android, but from what I read and heard (like <a href="http://blogs.zdnet.com/Burnette/?p=1284" rel="ugc">http://blogs.zdnet.com/Burnette/?p=1284</a>) it is by far not straightforward.<br />
<br />
Android is totally different from Windows, so I guess it would be much easier to rewrite your app completely

<div>
have to write it in java :/
</div>


<div>
Java is not an option I'm afraid. The large program is totally written in C ansi.<br />
<br />
Is you conclusion that it is not possible to run C applications under Android?<br />

yes I have seen the link and it looks ok to me. You can call a C library from JAVA using the JNI.<br />

Hi,<br />
<br />
Is someone experienced in compiling native C or C++ to run under Android OS?<br />
<br />
Is this a straightforward task or are there many problems to be expected.<br />
<br />
The program currently is a windows dll. Is a dll approach also possible under Android?<br />
<br />
Thanks for your help

Running C++ program on Android OS

C is a general-purpose, imperative computer programming language, supporting structured programming, lexical variable scope and recursion, while a static type system prevents many unintended operations. By design, C provides constructs that map efficiently to typical machine instructions, so it has found lasting use in applications that had formerly been coded in assembly language, including operating systems as well as various application software for computers ranging from supercomputers to embedded systems. It is distinct from C++ (which has its roots in C) and C#, and many later languages have borrowed directly or indirectly from C.

Smartphones run using a variety of operating systems -- Android, iOS and Windows Mobile most commonly -- and an even wider variety of programming languages, including Objective-C, Java, Visual C#, C++ and .NET, not to mention HTML5 and JavaScript, and cross-platform frameworks such as PhoneGap.

Smartphone Programming

Android is a mobile operating system developed by Google, based on the Linux kernel and designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Android's user interface is based on direct manipulation, using touch gestures that loosely correspond to real-world actions, such as swiping, tapping and pinching, to manipulate on-screen objects, along with a virtual keyboard for text input. In addition to touchscreen devices, variants of Android are also used on notebooks, game consoles, digital cameras, televisions, automobiles and other electronics. Applications are usually developed in Java programming language using the Android software development kit (SDK), but other development environments are also available, including Delphi, Ruby and Visual Studio (using C++).
