Now after reading the title I know what ure thinking 'this guy is a dumbasss' but i recently found a peice of developing software called unity and with this dev tool you can create apps in a certain code from what I understand and switch between platforms such as ios android xbox ps3 and windows mac linux from what i understand! of course when you switch youll have to change the aspect ratio and watnot.
I used to be an iphone user before i got my xperia play and i have quite a few beloved gaming apps. If i was to turn the ipa into .zip which i have done and unzipped all its contents and i then copied the contents to unity and switched platforms like i mentioned before how much work would that involved to get a simple game from ios to android. i suppose this is a question I should post on the unity site but I thought id post here first because there are many developers on xda who might have used unity software before unlike myself.
It doesn't work that way... you write the app with Unity, you can't just take someones binary blob and "convert" it with something like Unity. You would use Unity to write your own software. From scratch.
Trying to keep this as non technical as I can but basically the answer is no, it won't work. Sorry.
Could there be an iphone emulator created? Or is that not possible?

Not possible iOS is not open source otherwise developers would be pounding out iOS ports to multiple devices. Unfortuantly there is no way to even possibly emulate it at this moment. Maybe in the future they will make it open source. whoo knows

Not possible. Not for at least another 10 years maybe.
This is the best chance you have of an iOS emulator: iEmu (ignore the cancelled status)
Keep an eye on the dev's Twitter: https://twitter.com/#!/cmwdotme or the project homepage: http://www.iemu.org/index.php/Main_Page
The only fully functional iOS emulator that exists is apples own closed source emulator for the Mac, Its only really for app development though.

Hence why iEmu is the best chance to get iOS on Android at the moment. Although it's based on QEMU, which is a full system emulator (hardware etc) so speed would be an issue. It's also still in very early development status

They dont want the iOS interface they want the ability to use iOS apps on android. You cant deny that iOS has alot more quality apps and games than android does.
However getting an iOS emulator on android is something which we will probably never see ever.

so what is in the app is a compiled version of the sofware which someone wrote which you cannot uncompile to switch platforms and then recompile is what i think your saying correct?
With the way apple acts they would probably throw a lawsuit at you for making that port. Ha ha ha!

anyone knows if it exists or if someone are working on it?
I thinks that it would be a great app in android and there be possible (iphone has a version of it)
thanks everybody.
you make a very good job and make this SO better.
Why not ask the company that makes the software? It's not OSS so there's not much the community can do with it.
Wow...didn't know they had an app for iPhone. How much functionality does it have? I agree, your best bet would be to contact them...

I don't think that the matlab iphone app was actually a scaled down mobile matlab. I'm pretty sure it just let you remote control matlab on a nearby computer. It would send some of the results back to your phone though. And there is an android app that does exactly that, Matlab Remote for Android.

Have a look at this one:

thanks for replies, I 'll ask to company.
I 'll write news here.
thanks.
the matlab version on iphone can do the calulcation base stuff but it won't do any plot and those kind of graphical stuff
least not with the one i played around with a few months ago
Check out the app called Addi
There is a light-weight, java based, open source, matlab / octave clone app for Android called Addi. It is published already. Plotting is in the works, but a lot is already there.
I think there is an octave-like port in the works. (waiting on froyo to clean up a bit, I believe.)
Octave in traditional should give a lot of backend/normal functionality.
Command remotley Matlab with Matlab Commander
Although not a standalone app like Addi, if you are interested in remotely command Matlab on your PC you could try the newly released Matlab Commander.
Look for it in the Android Market.
-fc
As I was also searching for Matlab on android...
I found out that it would be possible to run linux on android!!!!
And my university also has the licenses for matlab on linux.
So does anyone this already tried?:
To run matlab in your linux on android?
I did not tried it yet, because your phone need to be rooted to run linux, and I did't do that because I didn't wanted because of warranty reasons. But if someone says that this is possible than I might want to root
grz.
the next problem will be getting the ARM version of the matlab
Questions or Problems Should Not Be Posted in the Development Forum
Please Post in the Correct Forums & Read the Forum Rules
Moving to Q&A
If you're still looking for a Matlab client you might find Anoc interesting which is an Octave (=Matlab clone) editor.
Can't imagine how trying out programs in a phone is going to be comfortable.. Maybe tablet.. What if someone wants to use matlab functions in development.? Do you think there are specific libraries included?

hey guys. i'm new into android developpment.
i have my senior project in my university (i'm a 5th year telecommuncations engineering student) and its about developping an android app that creates a custom watermark (location +date+ text entered by user) and affects it to an image then uploads it to a server, its supposed to be designed for bloggers and offshore journalists... i cant seem to get a good concept... how am i supposed to use matlab via my android? or i can just find a function that does the water mark and add it to my code?
would any one of you be kind enough to help me create a decent diagram for my app, to make it clearer?
thanks in advance

According to a comment on MakeUseOf.com:
In general iPhone Apps will not work on anything but iOS.
If you developed the App yourself [and have the Source Code] it depends on the tools you have used.
If you used Xcode all the way the App would be in Objective-C [which is hardly supported outside the Apple world] with Cocoa APIs [which are Apple only].
This means you would have to re-write the entire App.
If you used some other base (Java, C++) and some porting platform there might be a chance that there are tools to port it to other mobile platforms as well.
i think the answer the OP is looking for is a yes or no
as far as im aware its not available on android yet. Cant recommend an alternative as i dont really know what instagram does.
Hello,
I am a total novice. However, I'd like to develop a simple timecard app for Android, specifically targeted like the apps below.
http://www.appato.com/edward-pereira/wrap-time-time-card-for-film-crews/
http://www.crewtimecard.com/
These only exist for Apple products, though. What is the easiest, most straight-forward (Windows-based) software for creating such an app? I've heard of something called Eclipse...? Or there's some Google thing?
Thanks!
You need eclipse ide and android adt plugin for exclipse to code for android.Also you need android sdk for the api's.Googling "how to setup eclipse for android development" will give instructions for those from android developers website
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
thanks vijai2011. Is Eclipse easy to learn? Is there something easier that may not be TOO basic, so that I can create a timecard app like the ones I linked to above?
You dont have to learn to use eclipse .All you you need to know is java and few things about android resources which you can find at android developer website.They will pretty much cover everything.
But without java,you cannot take even the first step of app coding.Heart of app coding is java.

I see... so there really isn't something similar to Adobe Dreamweaver for android apps?

Like Adobe Dreamweaver lets you design your web layout pages with PHP coding ... Eclipse lets you design the App layout with java coding. Its pretty much similar.
You can even use Netbeans or similar IDE's, but most developers use Eclipse and its the one that's being recommended by Google, I guess.
Thanks... I am little intimidated by Eclipse. Is it mostly graphical? can I get by without any coding? You see the type of app I want to create....
Also, have you heard of Phonegap? Is this easier/better/more or less limiting?
Eclipse is fully gui.You go through a wizard to create a new project,adding app icon,creating main activit(ies),select lowest api and the api for app then you get into a screen like a text editor where you type java,then go to android manifest then added the created activity,give perm and export the app signed.Even the adb is included at the bottom toolbar for easy debugging in real time .
So its pretty much straight forward but it can take sometime for the first time.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
Hmm, sounds like there's some java (at least) coding involved. Can I get by without any manual coding at all?
Also, to create an app like the timecard things above, for Android, what version of Eclipse would be best (simplest, yet able to do the job well).?
Well....Its not some java...It 99% java the remaining 1% is for the look and feel that you put to your preference .That is why I said

No...you dont need any specific version of java.Take the latest eclipse IDE and the latest ADT plugin and code it.There is nothing you can do without manual work of typing java.You cannot do those web page design using dreamweaver here Here is my first app I wrote.There is also the source code attached at the bottom.See how long the code is just to invoke a activity of another app with a default argument.
This is how I set up eclipse:
You must have sdk pre-installed for this.Also sdk needs a 32bit java JDK to work.(you need 32bit irrespective of if u run 32 or 64bit.Dont know why is that so.SDK never recognized my 32bit JDK)
Install eclipse classic
follow this to install ADT

Checkout HELLS-KITCHEN. It's a great starting point. With this Distro and a million Tutorials on XDA, you should be able to find what your looking for.
what about Flash? I've watched a couple of video tutorials on using Flash 5.5 and up to create Android apps, and it seems pretty graphical-only (no or less coding -- keep in mind my app is very simple). Would this be a viable option?
What ever you try,The last and final destination is TO USE JAVA for app even if the app is a "Simple" Hello world app!You have to have a main activity,type in the codes etc....You dont get it out my clicking out on wizards like:
Do you want Android app?click next
Do you need it to be simple?click next
What features you need?Select them.
If you are too lazy to type out codes or dont know java,Why not just try any alternative in play store?It is more Graphical and is only few taps

Hey!
We know, that we can't run Android apps on Ubuntu Touch. The UT is a great operating system, but it has a big problem. It doesn't have any "neccessary" or "must have" applications NOW. These apps are the following by the community's opinion: FacebookMessenger, WhatsApp, Google Maps, a browser (like Chrome, Opera mini or Firefox), instagram, etc.
So, I want to know, that we are possible to port these (or any other) Android apps to UT, or not? If the answer is yes, i want to create a team. In this team i want to port Android apps, or create this apps alternatives.
Guess not much up in the forums
Request: Simyo Call Status App [Netherlands]
Hi there,
I haven't been on the xda forums a lot since the end of 2009 I believe but, since Canonical announced Ubuntu Touch this year, I have my reasons to pick up browsing the forums again. The Ubuntu Touch region, specifically.
Now, you were asking if there's any Android Apps to port to Ubuntu Touch.
I have a request that might not be of interest to a lot of people but will get pretty important to me once a 'user version' of Ubuntu Touch is released:
Simyo Netherlands provides an App to check your current "Belstatus" or call status.
This app provides me (on my iPhone) with the current remaining minutes/sms messages and remaining data (megabyte) for the current month within the contract.
Below the link to the Android equivalent in the Play Store, which might be portable to an Ubuntu Touch app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.simyo.mijnsimyo
Let me know if this is something you'd be interested in doing.
I might be of some help being a C# programmer, but I still need to check out the Ubuntu Touch SDK (my HTML5 and QML knowledge is poor) and that's something I won't be able to very soon....

You can port any already existing apps that are found on Android, you just need the API from the app developers.

No, there's no tool like that for Ubuntu Touch (yet?).
I'd be willing to port my Android apps to Ubuntu touch. Does the work need to be done from scratch? Is there a simpler way to port a java, native, android app to Ubuntu?
I can't contribute anything app-wise, but this sounds like a really good idea; best of luck!
Ubuntu-Touch must LIVE! I have use it and it is cool system. Some problems with applications time to time appeares. And it is very hard find developers for apps. But I think if required apps appeares -- more people move to UT. And first of all that system must use NOT for games.

Till last some years UT has some changes. For example appears OpenVPN network manager in a base apps. But unfortunately that feature with unresolved bugs. Also I didn't find any browsers like QupZilla/Mozilla FireFox or Lynx. So As for me we required updated OS for first. And normal browser. Current versions of browsers are unusable. That i big part of work. For that required powerful developers group. I try to compile and run some examples to UT but unfortunately unsuccessful. But I try. Who also try do something but with successful result?
Hello, im new in app development. How to make sure that someone doesnt copy my Android app to iOS? I would like to upload my app on Google play store, but im afraid of that someone will see it and will make same for iOS. I will upload it in future Also in iOS, but for now i must be sure that nobody will steal in. Sorry for my english.

My POV:
For iOS devices several Android emulators exist, hence noone must steal an Android app, but simply run it on such an emulator
Probably nobody is crazy enough to rewrite an Android app for running on iOS powered devices. Notice that Android apps are programmed in Java, iOS apps typically are programmed in Swift ( Apple's recommendation ) .
