Re: [xmlvm-users] Compiling HelloWorld with --target=posix?

[Paul P. <bay...@gm...>]

Hi Ray,

I currently execute posix targets on Windows/Cygwin & also on OSX, but not
on Debian.  Here is a sample of an ant block I use:

<target name="xmlvm">
    <java jar="../xmlvm/dist/xmlvm.jar" failonerror="true" fork="true"
maxmemory="1024m">
        <arg value="--in=build/bin"/>
        <arg value="--out=build/xbin"/>
        <arg value="--target=posix"/>
        <arg value="--no-cache"/>
        <arg value="--app-name=HelloWorld"/>
    </java>
</target>

I do not have to make any modifications to the make file afterwards.  Your
issue is likely due to the differences on Debian, as I would bet you're the
first one trying that, believe it or not, since I gather most folks are
interested in iPhone development on OSX.  If you look at some of our code,
you'll find some platform specific code (a lot from Apache Harmony).  E.g.
#if defined (FREEBSD) || defined(MACOSX)
It sounds like you have some C experience, so if you would be able to nail
down those differences in a patch, I'm sure we could remedy the issue.

Thanks,
Paul

[xmlvm-users] Compiling HelloWorld with --target=posix?

[Ray L. <ray...@gm...>]

Hello all,

I am new to XMLVM and I am trying to compile a simple Hello World to c
(I am on Debian) with:
 $ java -Xmx1G -jar dist/xmlvm.jar --in=HelloWorld.class --target=posix
But I get a lot of compilation problems.

Currently I am running into an undefined portLibrary, which I believe
it should be defined in one of Harmony's files, but I could not find
it with a simple grep on the generated posix/src directory. The error
message is:

gcc -w -std=gnu99 -DALL_INTERIOR_POINTERS -DGC_THREADS
-DTHREAD_LOCAL_ALLOC -DPARALLEL_MARK -DUSE_MMAP -DUSE_MUNMAP
-DNO_DYLD_BIND_FULLY_IMAGE -I../src -DXMLVM_NO_GC -DLINUX -c
../src/xmlvm-util.c -o build/obj/xmlvm-util.o
../src/xmlvm-sock.c: In function ‘hysock_getnameinfo’:
../src/xmlvm-sock.c:769: error: ‘portLibrary’ undeclared (first use in
this function)
../src/xmlvm-sock.c:769: error: (Each undeclared identifier is
reported only once
../src/xmlvm-sock.c:769: error: for each function it appears in.)
make: *** [build/obj/xmlvm-sock.o] Error 1

Following are some steps I have already taken:
1. I added -DXMLVM_NO_GC to the CFLAGS to simplify things.
2. I changed S_IFDIR to __S_IFDIR in src/native_java_io_File.h (I am
not so sure why the definition in sys.stat.h does not work).
3. Also changed --std=c99 to --std=gnu99 in CFLAGS, for otherwise I
got an undefined ip_mreq.
4. I added -DLINUX to the CFLAGS, for otherwise the definition in
hycomp.h does not kick in.

Could someone tell me what are the steps needed to compile a simple
HelloWorld with --target=posix? Surely I am not the first to try
that...

[xmlvm-users] running as Android gives obsolete build.xml

[Sander K. <s.k...@de...>]

Hi all,

I'm having trouble running the demos as Android projects. When I type: 'ant run-Android', I get the following message:

--- BEGIN LISTING ---

BUILD FAILED
/Users/sander/xmlvm/demo/android/sayhello/nbproject/xmlvm.xml:60: The following error occurred while executing this line:
/Users/sander/xmlvm/demo/android/sayhello/nbproject/build-Android.xml:18: 

Error. You are using an obsolete build.xml
You need to delete it and regenerate it using
	android update project

--- END LISTING ---

When I run 'android update project' with the required parameters and edit build.xml to include the right xmlvm-specific files, the result is still the same.

Either way, since it complains about line 18 in build-Android.xml I decided to take a look at what's there. Turns out that line only contains "<setup />", not very spectaculair and since it's obsolete I might as well comment it out.
So that's what I did and then 'ant run-Android' gives me:

--- BEGIN LISTING ---

BUILD FAILED
/Users/sander/xmlvm/demo/android/sayhello/nbproject/xmlvm.xml:60: The following error occurred while executing this line:
Target "debug" does not exist in the project "Android-impl". It is used from target "-target-run".

--- END LISTING ---

So, it seems like there's a build target missing, but since I'm no expert at ant I'm getting stuck here...

Is there anyone who could help me with this? Thanks in advance!

I just committed a patch that selected GCC 4.2 as the default compiler (overriding Apple's default settings).
Although more or less works now, I think it is important to address this issue anyway.

Any app, unfortunately.

I will partially address the issue, by setting "by default" the GCC compiler instead of the "default apple compiler" (which is Clang).
But I believe to be future proof, it would be better to look how to make the C code compatible with Clang...

[xmlvm-users] XMLVM produced code does not compile with current Xcode

[Panayotis K. <pan...@pa...>]

I have just updated to Xcode 4.2 (the current Xcode version, compatible with iOS 5), and I found that the produced code (in C and obj-c) is not compilable any more.
THe problem is with an object defined as a @class, and later on redefined using the typedef notation.

After some experimentation, it seems that this is an issue with GCC& Clang.
For some reason, Clang is more strict on this issue, while GCC is not.
At least for the ObjC backend, if I change the compiler form Clang to GCC solved this issue.
With C backend though I was not equally lucky (but I have to admit I didn't dig more into it).

Re: [xmlvm-users] Newbie question - how to include external jar libraries in xmlvm compile to iphone

[Sascha H. <sa...@xm...>]

I silently introduced a new parameter recently that you can try out: Call
xmlvm with "--libraries=yourlib.jar". This should make XMLVM to pick it up.

Now depending on what that library does, you might run into APIs that are
not yet fully supported. So please report back when you get errors with the
--libraries argument.

do this?

[xmlvm-users] Functionality differences between platforms

[William W. <flu...@gm...>]

Hello all again,
I'm curious what the limitations on XMLVM are when translating from Android
to iPhone.  For instance, I think I can assume that any non-native code
should be translatable (even if it's been through a bytecode obfuscator or
is written in another JVM language besides Java), but whether it will
actually work will depend on the capabilities of the emulation layer on the
receiving platform.  For instance, Android preferences are sort of like
Apple's property lists, but the exact capabilities are not the same.
Android application lifecycle is a little different from iOS, especially if
you run a service (even if the service isn't exposed through aidl).  These
are just examples of cases where the platforms are different in a way that
is more than just the language they support.

The purpose of this message is not to complain that the functionality is
inadequate, but to inquire as to how I can best determine if any particular
piece of functionality is present.  A second question is if some
functionality should turn out to not work or be missing, what's the best way
to re-implement just that functionality on iOS while keeping the rest of the
ported application?  Will I get an error in the translation process, or some
sort of stub in the generated code?

Depending on the target (Java, Xcode or Android) there is a build-*target*.xml file inside the nbproject directory.
This file calls the actual build commands.
You can modify these files to suit your needs.

Thank you very much!  I copied the resource files also to the Mac and edited
the path in the XCode project and now it is working.  It is a little
awkward, but it will do for now.

This is the expected behavior. No resource files are visible in the Xcode project, and if something is missing, no error can be seen.

I understand you need to fine tune this build stage.
In the Xcode project, there is a list of build stages;  the last one is an execution of a bash script. What is does is to copy the resource files to the produced iOS application bundle, at the end of the compilation.
Have a look at this file and make sure that the resources are found inside the produced *.app folder.

Re: [xmlvm-users] New user missing Android resources

[William W. <flu...@gm...>]

I went ahead and copied AndroidManifest.xml and the main.xml and strings.xml
into the project resources manually and now I no longer have the previous
issue.  Instead I have the following errors:
<I><Resources>: Unable to resolve resources for
com.myproject.AndroidTestApp1: id
<I><Resources>: Unable to resolve resources for
com.myproject.AndroidTestApp1: array
<I><Resources>: Unable to resolve resources for
com.myproject.AndroidTestApp1: dimen
<I><Resources>: Unable to resolve resources for
com.myproject.AndroidTestApp1: raw

These four errors are then repeated one time.  Unfortunately, I'm not sure
what these errors mean, so I don't know where to go from here.

Re: [xmlvm-users] New user missing Android resources

[William W. <flu...@gm...>]

Unfortunately this doesn't seem to be working either.  Creating a project
using the xmlvm android skeleton works but has the same problem - neither
the AndroidManifest.xml file nor any other resource exist anywhere in the
--out directory and are not referenced in the xcodeproj file or Makefile.

As for the relative vs absolute path issue, I really don't think that is the
issue, else I would expect an error in the build phase in Xcode.  I looked
in the generated xcodeproj and found no references to any kind of xml file,
whether relative or absolute paths.  In any case doing my Android
development on the Mac is a non starter even if I did think it would work.

Is there any way I can just add these resource files manually to the iPhone
project?  The cross compilation part, which is what I am actually interested
in, is working fine.  I just don't know where to put them.

As an alternative, would it be possible for me to just cross-compile the
logic of my application and copy it into an ordinary iphone app, which I
could then invoke from my own Objective-C code?  This way I would build the
UI again, but not the meat of the app, which would probably be fine - and
then I don't need to worry about the cocoa compatibility library.  My app is
mostly networking and cryptography anyway, I can afford (and halfway expect)
to redo the UI.

In general, this is not a good idea. Although the produced Xcode project tries to use relative pathnames where possible, it might be a situation that this wasn't possible, and absolute pathnames were created (which of course where broken when you moved the project to another system).

In general the idea is the Xcode project to be consumable, like the other intermediate files. It is not a full & free Xcode project like others.
If you want to compile an Xcode project, I'd strongly suggest to create this project in a Mac.

Re: [xmlvm-users] New user missing Android resources

[Arno P. <ar...@pu...>]

that should work. There is probably a problem with --resource. I would 
suggest you let XMLVM generate an empty skeleton project:

xmlvm --skeleton=android --out=OUTDIR --app-name=APPNAME

and then edit it the way you need.

[xmlvm-users] New user missing Android resources

[William W. <flu...@gm...>]

Hello all,
I'm new to xmlvm and am running into a problem with my "hello world".  My
goal is to cross compile Android applications to iPhone.  Although I don't
think it matters, I'm running xmlvm on Linux and then copying the generated
projects to MacOS.

I created my Hello World which is the same as the standard Google hello
world for Android - it simply defines the onCreate method with
setContentView(R.layout.main).  There is a main.xml and a strings.xml and
also the AndroidManifest.xml that is always there.  The app runs fine on
Google's Android simulator.

I'm able to build my app in XCode and run it in XCode's iPhone simulator,
but it crashes on startup.  The error displayed in the debugger output is:
<E> <xmlvm>: Unable to locate AndroidManifest.xml file

After some brief looking I see that the manifest, main and strings xml files
are not output into the generated xcode project.  I've tried using the
--resource commandline option as well as the xmlvm.resource property to try
to specify that I want these files, but it doesn't seem to make any
difference.

I've encountered the same problem with the files in the android demo
directory, or at least with afireworks, which is what I tried.

Do I need to manually copy these resource files?  If so, where shall I put
them?

Re: [xmlvm-users] Cross Compiling Java Desktop application to iPhone

[Arno P. <ar...@pu...>]

short answer: no.

You can use a subset of J2SE (data structures, XML parsing, etc) but 
there are some notable omissions: AWT and Swing. It doesn't make sense 
to 'shrink' a desktop interface, you have to 're-think' it for mobile 
devices. That is why XMLVM support the native UI widgets of iOS and Android.

Re: [xmlvm-users] cross compiling J2ME Application to iPhone

[Arno P. <ar...@pu...>]

XMLVM does not support J2ME. None of the classes you've listed below are 
part of XMLVM. I took a quick look at Netmite (the tool you mentioned) 
and it seems that they have some sort of interpreter to run J2ME apps on 
Android. In theory it might be possible to cross-compile the Netmite 
Runner, but that would not be a trivial task.

Sorry, but I'm afraid XMLVM can't help you much.

 *cross compiling J2ME Application to iPhone
*
Dear Mr.Sascha , All
First of all ,Thanks alot for replying , and sorry if i used the wrong email
.
and the application i developed is not an android application , it is
developed in J2ME technology
but i used the netmite website to covert it to .apk application in order to
be compatible to work on
android mobile phones.
My application is combinations of services consisting of 23 banking services
, i used alot of packages
as follows:
 java.io.*
java.util.*
javax.microedition.midlet.*
javax.microedition.lcdui.*
javax.microedition.io.Connector
javax.microedition.io.HttpConnection
org.netbeans.microedition.lcdui.SplashScreen
org.netbeans.microedition.lcdui.WaitScreen
org.netbeans.microedition.util.SimpleCancellableTask
in order for the user to input data in forms , to be submitted as HTTP
request , then read the
feedback information about the transaction from a webpage and display it in
a J2ME form back
to the user.

and now all the Banks' users except the iPhone users are using the
applications , and am trying to solve
this issue , so if you have any idea to support me kindly do.

Thankx alot,
Kind regards,
