Developing iPhone Applications using Java
Google Tech Talks
October 14, 2008
ABSTRACT
Apple's iPhone has resulted in significant interest from users and developers
alike. Apple's SDK for the iPhone is based on Objective-C as the development
language as well as Cocoa for the GUI.
Unfortunately Apple's
license agreement for the iPhone SDK prohibits the porting of the Java virtual
machine to the iPhone. In this presentation we introduce an Open Source
Java-to-Objective-C cross-compiler as well as a Java-based implementation of the
Cocoa library. With the help of these tools, iPhone applications can be written
in pure Java. Using the Java version of Cocoa, it is possible to run a
Java-based iPhone application as a Java desktop/applet application that can be
cross-compiled to run natively on the iPhone. The talk will discuss the
challenges of the Java-to-Objective-C cross-compiler as well as the Java-based
version of Cocoa. Details are available at http://www.xmlvm.org/
