Appsterdam Guru Session: Hands-on Android porting lab to BlackBerry

"You bring the App, we'll port it together"

Following up on the Wednesday Lunch Lecture, Dennis Reumer of the Blackberry Developer Group will introduce you to the options from Research in Motion provides to run your Android application on the BlackBerry Platform. This session will be a hands-on lab to walk through porting your Android app to BlackBerry. After this Guru Session, you can reach a whole new audience with your Android App.

Agenda:

12:00-13:00: Doors open, environment check.
13:00-17:00: Session starts!

This is session is targeted at Android developers (experienced or beginner) - best is to bring your own app for porting! You don't have to know anything about BlackBerry yet. In preparation, download / register for the following free tools:

Don't worry about configuring it all yet, that's what we mainly will be doing during the guru session. NOTE: If you have already done some WebApp projects, we'd love you to bring them along! We'll try to package them as BlackBerry Apps during our session and if we have the time even submit them to Appworld! For this please create a free Vendor Account in BlackBerry AppWorld.

    Thanks all for joining today and participating in the Android Porting Guru Session. You all have my contact details and the contact details of the RIM developer relations.

    I love to be CC'ed in any questions you fire off to the Dev Relations, just to keep some taps on the issues you're encountering. This to ensure I keep the pressure on the right spots with RIM.

    There will be a Native BlackBerry 10 Cascades course at Pakhuis de Zwijger 18-20 Dec, which might be interesting if you like the new platform now you've seen it in action. You can still sign up here: http://www.gpxs.net/en/courses?...

    Note that the emulator will not run with VMPlayer (at least in linux) and that the devices won't work via usb either on linux die to the lack of drivers. They work over WiFi thou.
    The lack of linux support is quite annoying... well, the command line tools do work.
