Hi! Actually Android is a modified version of LINUX with stronger separation of the directories between apps and other differences. App install files (APK) for example are vaguely similar to JAR, but with DEX (which you can decompile to Java) instead of CLASS files... Wikihow says, to use Java on Android, you need emulators and root or other ugly tricks...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_(programming_language)#Android I think it would be better to re-compile your existing Java source code to create APK instead of installing various tools to run the original JAR file directly? However, HTML 5 & Javascript / Ecmascript might just work, so maybe this time Apple is not too wrong? :-) Cheers, Eric PS: Flash totally deserves the hate :-p > How can a .jar be run on Android or iOS?
