Guest dbaseii Posted March 7, 2011 Report Posted March 7, 2011 Is it possible to install java client using stock browser?
Guest hellracer13 Posted March 7, 2011 Report Posted March 7, 2011 Is it possible to install java client using stock browser? Android applications are written in Java which excludes classes that don’t make sense for mobile devices. Tablets aren't designed as a replacement for your laptop so guess Full Java client wouldnt work ?
Guest trevor432990 Posted March 7, 2011 Report Posted March 7, 2011 (edited) Is it possible to install java client using stock browser? Not a Java expert myself but what does the 'Enable JavaScript' setting within the stock browser settings do then? or am I missing the point :( P.S. You should 'Enable Plug-ins' too by the way Edited March 7, 2011 by trevor432990

You should 'Enable Plug-ins' too by the way JavaScript is code embedded in a web page. I think this chap is thinking of the desktop jre downloads from sun...whoops I mean oracle. :( Jre s are platform specific. There is not one you download for Android. Android runs a variant of Java but it is not quite the same as the desktop one.
Guest SilentMobius Posted March 7, 2011 Report Posted March 7, 2011 Android does _not_ run a JVM, it runs a Dalvik VM which is notably different. The current SDK just happens to use the Java language as it's starting point (It could use Ruby or Python as a starting point if it wanted to), the compiled Bytecode is totally different. There are no working 3rd party JVM's for android right currently.

However, the dalvik vm uses a subset of project harmony (apache) which is an open source implementation of java. Java is not just a language or a just a vm. It is both and more. So I would say Android supports 'java' just as much as my pc :( p.s. The jvm supports other source languages too. :(
Guest trevor432990 Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 Darn it knew I was wrong so what the hell is a JVM when it's at home? read old git who doesn't know anything :(
