So Oracle's lawyers have made an incorrect statement, and a series of misleading
statements in their filing. This is a simple enough exercise that Judge Alsup
should be able to write and run code demonstrating that they are
wrong.
No application or program written for the J2SE platform runs
on Android.
As you document, this is not true.
There
are several reasons for this: (a) Android applications start up in a completely
different way from standard Java applications;
If started from
the UI, but as you point out, that isn't the only way to start an application on
Android, the main method can still be invoked. This would be true if there was
no way to invoke the main method of a Java class from Android, but there is.
(b) Android applications are compiled to Dalvik bytecode rather
than Java bytecode;
Irrelevant to whether the Java source code of
a Java application can run in Android. This is about the framework behind the
scenes within which the code runs.
and (c) Android applications
are packaged as “apk” files, which are similar to but incompatible with Java’s
“jar” files.
Again, irrelevant, this is about packaging and
deployment, not getting an application to run. Jar files, executable jar files,
apk files, ear files, war files, etc, all of these are packaging for deployment
in a particular environment, not about the bare question of whether Java code
written for JSE can run on Android. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
