Yes. It is on every single Android device ever produced.
Java is the language used to write Android Apps.
see http://developer.android.com/index.html
and to quickly see the use of java see the tutorials at http://mobile.tutsplus.com/tutorials/android/learn-java/
Then why can't my browser run java scripts? Is it the browser I'm using (Boat)?
I ask because there is a web page I use at work that requires the IE Java plug-in but it will not run in my tablet. I do realize it may be a security thing on our network but the page loads and it allows me to log in (it always makes you log in on this web page). It renders some of the page but not all of it. It may not be a Java problem at all it's just behaves like IE does when the Java plug-in is not the latest version.
Thanks
Edit - I'm reading up on this as I am not a programmer but would like to know more about Android. Maybe someday an Android noob like me will know something.

What's the URL. I suspect it's not exactly the Java plug in. JavaScript (which is completely different from Java) works fine Boat and all other browsers.

That makes sense. Its an internal company URL. My company laptop died today and I'm using my Prime for work . It works great for email etc. Only this is not working. I'd ask my IT guys but they'll just brush me off since they don't support anything that is not authorized by them.

Maybe your work laptop has security certificates installed on it.

When Internet Explorer and other desktop browsers use the Java plugin, they are using the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) provided by Oracle. The JRE is also known as the Java Virtual Machine. Android devices do not have the Oracle Java runtime. While most Android apps are written in Java, they are based on the Dalvik Virtual Machine, which is a mobile-specialized Java platform that runs Android apps, but not the web-based applets that are designed for desktop browsers. Due to Oracle's lawsuit against Google for allegedly using Java code without permission, it is unfortunately quite unlikely to see the JRE running on Android devices anytime soon. Besides, most of the web is slowly getting away from Java and Flash, and transitioning to HTML5.
So in short, Android does have Java, but just not the kind you're looking for in this particular case.
So is there a way to use it?
I tried to upload a bunch of pics to FB using the standard web page and it wouldn't pop up a window to access the file system.
I like the tablet/dock netbook concept a lot, but it's annoying to still need my laptop when trying to upload a bunch of pics.

NZBget is an open source usenet binary downloader, similar to sabnzbd or hellanzb, with one exception, it is written in C++. It also has a web interface.
The publication of a decent multi codec video player like vplayer alpha has given us the ability to play a lot of content, now nzbget would be a nice way to get this content like trailers and stuff directly onto our devices.
Nzbget can be cross compiled to run on an ARM architecture CPU.
My question is about the libs required for it to function:
1 Zlib
2 Libxml2
3 Openssl
4 Libsigc++
5 Libpar2
6 Curl
Are these available to run in the linux environment that is the foundation for our devices?
What would it take to get them running?
Would this even be remotely interesting to anyone other than myself?
Probably just you. There are ways to search for files, dropbox them, or other way to send them to the watched folder, download them on the computer, then view them remotely rather than through 3g.
I see downloading on the home connection far better than using 3g.
better sure, but not as convenient!
There have been times when I had nothing but my phone and no computer available. Something like this would have allowed me to get some media to watch.
Probably a very niche usage case though.
Hmmm... youtube comes to mind for trailers and such =/... anything else you could use a torrent remote and setup an FTP server with access to your download folder and secure it. If you really want NZB stuff... you could get it using an automated NZB retrieving program like hellanzb. Then do the same type of thing. You could then have media stored on your computer at home and DL what you want via FTP when you want it. Honestly, haven't used NZBs in a long time =/... torrents are so much... better. Just my opinion though.
im interrested in, if you have a working binary that run on android please give me.
Hey there XDA.
i'm in the IT department for a big-time company, and we (obviously) have specific security parameters on our network.
Recently, with all of the talk about android tablets because of CES and other factors (i personally own a Viewsonic G-Tablet running VEGAn 5.1b) the team and i have come to wonder if we would be able to put an android tablet onto the domain the same way we would a regular old Windows PC/Laptop or a Blackberry phone onto the exchange server.
We use Citrix clients/servers as well as pc/laptops, and so far, as i've been scouring the market, i've been able to find a Citrix app, and a Wyse terminal app, which could be used to open VPN sessions on the server, as well as another app which allows an android device to be connected completely with Microsoft Exchange Server. ( touchdown http://www.nitrodesk.com/TouchDown.aspx )
So, i figured, where else would i go but here, to the most well versed android development website on the interwebs, to ask if you guys might know of anything at all, or if something could be done.
Any ideas?

Hi,
I'm kind of unclear about what you're looking for, from your post, I guess because there could be any number of interpretations, e.g.:
- Are you asking if an Android device could be joined to your Windows domain?
- Are you asking if you can "see" shares on your Windows machines from Android?
- Are you asking if you can RDP to a Windows machine from Android?
- Etc.?
Probably (I think) #1 above is "no", at least as far as I can see now (plus I don't know if it'd make sense).
The answer to the 2nd and 3rd are "yes".
For #2, either you can use something like ES File Explorer, or you can use CIFS Manager on an Android machine that has CIFS support.
For #3, Pocketcloud can do that (the one from Wyse), and there are a few more.

Thanks for the reply, and yes i was looking to concentrate more around number 1. If number 1 were to be solved, number 2 would end up working out perfectly, with no security risks (becuase the shared files are only available to domain devices or thin clients using the VPN/RDP services we have setup). I guess looking at it from another angle, we would probably be able to (theoretically) limit a user's access capabilities on the tablet so that a general user could still be able to access the file shares using VPN without creating a security risk...
as you can see i currently have a whole lot running around in my head, and i'm not even sure if i'm mkaing it sound like english... T_T
I use my Zpad for work, the business apps I use:
Touchdown (for exchange, would like spell checker though)
File Expert (access shares)
Xtralogic Remote Desktop (works VERY well, better than PocketCloud and worth the $25)

It sounds like you're looking for something like PAM authentication capability from the Gtab. I know that there are products that do that for *nix, but I'm not aware of anything specifically for Android. Then again I think that there are public domain implementations, so it might be possible. Sorry that I can't be more help ...

Did you ever figure out anything more on this? We are looking at the same thing right now, and it'd be great if you found any more info out
I need to use Internet Explorer on my mobile devices for my job. My company's as well as a few client's secure websites as require Internet Explorer to work correctly. I need to log into those websites to access data while I am working out in the field. Those websites absolutely require Internet Explorer.
Those websites do not even work on Firefox on PC or Safari on Mac. So far only a coworker's Windows phone with Internet Explorer seems to works. Everyone else with iPhone, iPad and Android phone have not been able to use their mobile devices, and we all have to use a laptop with Windows, which seems to defeat the purpose of having a mobile device.
I know Android does not have Internet Explorer, but is there some browser that can emulate Internet Explorer on Android?

Try Dolphin Browser... and try to change UA to Internet Ex (i think)... or Boat Browser
Inviato dal mio GT-S5570 con Tapatalk 2
maybe out of the thread ..
but try out emulating a pc .. ?
Like using your mobile as a controller of the pc
else try Opera if yo haven't , change the user agent into Desktop
hope it works well for yo ..
You can try Dolphin Browser since you can enter a custom user agent so the website will think you are using IE. If its only built to work with IE's rendering engine you may have issues, but often times these sites are mostly functional in other browsers unless they need ActiveX.
This user agent string will tell the site you are using IE8 on XP
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0)

You kust restored for me crucial functionality I thought I'd lost forever with the upgrade to 4.1.2. Much thanks.
Need to run site in compatibility view on IE 8 on android
Hi I have a similar issue with my phone and tab, need to login to secure server but even on PC the darn site needs to run in compatibility view for me to even be able to log in (IE 8-10 only) Have done the string like above opens the window but does not allow login as compatibility view is not enabled... Does the same thing as on PC if this is not enabled ( jumbles up the page and does not allow the login button to be clicked) Is there any way for me to get this working?
Please help.

This is my 3rd post about what I'm trying to get suggestions on with a browser I have been given access to that works only on Windows 10 in windows devices but also on any Android or iOS devices. The view mode can be changed from Android, to Safari, and between desktop/mobile. Mentioning this because noticed it does emulate ie on desktop mode. Could be the answer.
It is MX5, the latest version to Maxthon Browser, and it is worlds ahead of anything available for Android. I am trying to get suggestions as to setting up a thread for availability and such, and am sure you would have to create an account through a Maxthon Browser download from playstore. Has cloud storage as well as syncing favorites, open tabs, between devices. Also has the ability to store webpages offline now in their entirety, or just extract pics, vids that can be modded for use in other ways. Also has what is called UUMail built in you name your own webserver, enter email address into and create shadow (alias) email addresses to use online that are filtered for spam. Adblocking is builtin as well.
If this seems to be an answer, try Maxthon Browser off playstore, create a user account and password. Even if you change the view mode in it to desktop and that does not fix the IE compatability problem, maybe this version, MX5 will.

Here similar problem, wish/need/pray to acces with android browser to old website made for IE 5.0 and javascript... Under PC I sue IE Tab... Try install add-onson Firefox for android, but not works...
(
I need the same thing, I have a dodge service manual cd that uses internet explorer 7 and under to run properly, I have used internet explorer in dev mode to run it it using ie 7, also on chrome I used IE tab extension and they both work great for windows. The problem is on android nothing works. I have tried every browser. I have also tried Yandex browser which supports add on and have installed ie tab but it does not work. I also tried Firefox and install ie tab using chrome store foxified but again it does not work. I wish there was a way of running this cd on android. I think it needs activex, netscape, svg viewer and java script.
I know this is a little off topic for the Evo 3D forums and even for XDA, but I thought it is worth sharing here since we all use PC's of some sort.
The browsers (Chrome and IE) on my PC were really sluggish today and I happened to notice that when my mouse was hovering over the screen there was a message at the bottom of the screen saying that it was waiting on the Google Analytics website.
I'm not sure if their servers are having problems or just overloaded today but I suspected that might be the cause for my browsers' sluggishness so I did a Google search and found this page that has plugins available to opt out for most of the PC based browsers. I'm not sure why browsers other than Chrome need plugins but I'm guessing it's because Google's websites force that data collection. Although I mostly use Chrome these days, you really need to keep IE around on a Windows system for compatibility with some websites and apps.
I've installed the plugins for Chrome and IE and my browsers seem to be faster, and I feel a little better about my privacy.
Edit: Apparently at least some these plugins have been available for almost three years. I'm glad I finally found them as I for one don't want to be waiting for a response from websites I use while Google is collecting statistics.
Hmmm...
I wonder if there are similar plugins or settings for mobile browsers that might bring this thread back on topic?
ramjet73
Thanks for sharing! That helped my firefox speed.
Update
I should have known it wasn't going to be that easy to opt out of Google Analytics using the Chrome browser.
After installing the plugins linked in the OP I was still seeing "waiting for www.google-analytics.com' at the bottom of the Chrome window. I'm not sure what exactly the plugin does but apparently it doesn't block code in a web page that explicitly accesses the JavaScript code on the GA website.
My next step was to add entries in my host file to redirect the GA URL's to localhost (127.0.0.1) and that just caused delays while the browser timed out waiting for a response from GA.
Finally I figured out how to create a manual filter in the Adblock extension to block access to the specific URL being used for the javascript code on the GA sever and that seems to have worked.
Now I need to figure out what is required to do the equivalent in the mobile browsers.
Any ideas?

I bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ and I'm trying to replace my windows laptop with it.
Is there a good alternative to the Oracle SQL developer and IntelliJ on Android?
Thanks in advance.
I'm trying to do something similar, I don't have a replacement for Oracle SQL developer but for an IDE gitpod.io is brilliant. It's an online IDE built on Theia (basically the same as vscode). It spins up a full environment from a git repo and has build tools, db, etc. Here is an example Java + Spring project you can jump right into https://gitpod.io/#https://github.com/gitpod-io/spring-petclinic
I have a ThinkCentre Tiny that I use for Plex and as a media server. I have all my productivity apps loaded on it so I can RDP in to it when Android versions of apps won't cut it. Android Excel for example is maddening. MS RDP on Samsung's tablets is the next best thing to being there. .
I also set up a Remote Desktop connection to my Windows PC. With Wake on LAN I can start the PC from anywhere and then use RD Client on my tablet. That works perfect for some programs, where I don't have an Android version on the tablet.
