Re: [xmlvm-users] Potential supported platforms

[Markus N. <mar...@gm...>]

Hi Tomas,

So far we applied a similar approach to the one used for android2iphone. If
you take a look at http://www.xmlvm.org/android/ we finished the equivalent
of the cocoa compat-lib (at least what's needed for the demos) for the WP7.
This allows writing WP7 apps in Java using classes which mimic the native
WP7 C# API. Our next step now (actually I just started on this last week) is
to port the android compat-lib to work together with our WP7 Java layer.

We usually also reimplement the demos as native WP7 apps to get a better
idea how we can do the mapping between Android and WP7, but it's not used in
the cross-compilation.

We focused on implementing the necessary classes/attributes/methods to get
the demos to run so our implementation is far from being complete but we are
making progress. Any help is greatly appreciated and I am confident we can
find areas to cooperate in.

As far as I know my colleague already started the merge, so I hope we have
news for you soon.

Cheers,
Markus
