Can the embedded jetty server work on ios devices ?..I have a requirement to build an offline web application that should work on all devices (iphon, android phones, mac, linux etc )?
I have done some research around it ,and couldn't find ways to get the embedded jetty server to work on ios devices. So the answer so far is no.

I'm looking at developing an app for iOS and Android that requires a server in order to work (this has to do with a group I'm connected with on a college campus). So I have been trying to find out if iOS apps can run off a Linux server before I spend anything on one. However, I have not been able to find this information anywhere. So, does anyone know if an iOS app requires an iOS server or will a Linux server work just fine? Moreover, if I require an iOS server, could an android app work with an iOS server?
I'm not trying to be cheap with this, I'm just trying to keep the group from having to spend more than they have to.
There's no such as an iOS server or Android server. iOS apps run on iOS devices. Android apps run on Android devices. iOS and Android (as well as just about any other client) can connect to any server that provides an interface. It doesn't matter if the server is running Linux, OS X, Windows, or any other OS.
Your server just needs to provide a public interface - typically through some sort of web server.
But the iOS and Android apps will not run on the server. They will make network calls to the server.
tl;dr - yes, an iOS or Android app will have no problem accessing your Linux server.
I am trying to develop a Windows Desktop app similar to Task Manager which can monitor my PC with Visual Studio Express. Now I want to develop one app for my Android phone with which I can connect to this Windows App from anywhere and see some of the graphs and little info (light weight) on my phone in a secure way.
What tools do I need on my desktop and Android phone to develop the app. How can I develop and connect it? If you can help me it will be great.
Thanks.
Probably the easier way for you to do this is to create a server application which both your apps connect to which will need to be on the internet or on a network where both have access to it. The desktop app would be sending its' information and the phone application would be requesting that information. As for what the server needs to be, that is agnostic, however using REST or Websockets (More ideal but a bit harder to work with) for communication would probably be ideal.
To get started I would suggest looking up a tutorial where you do API requests to a server (On either Android or Windows Store Apps). Then look at building your own server application to distribute your own API.
I hope this helps.
I am trying to write an app for iOS and Android platforms, that discovers local network devices like printers, tv, computers etc.
I would love to use bonjour, but apparently Bonjour can't be used on Android devices (?) when writing an app in adobe flex framework.
Are you seeing a technical reason why you can't use Bonjour on Android? Some security block?
If not, you may be able to work directly from AIR--Renaun Erickson has a blog post that attempts to do the same (which I haven't tried).
i am currently a mobile web application with jquery mobile. Is there a way of testing the application with an emulator that works for ipad, ios, blackberry, android, symbian and other major os on my local machine without connecting to the internet or using a real phone or hardware.
You may be interested in the ripple project. Currently its a chrome extension for emulating different devices. Sure it has shortcomings but it can be very useful for certain situations.

To avoid connecting to the internet: run your server on localhost
To avoid using actual hardware, use the emulators that come with the SDKs for the platforms you're interested in. But at first, just use the computer browser; I'd recommend Safari, as it is based on WebKit, like iOS and Android use.
One thing I tend to do is use FireFox with user agent switcher plugin. This allows you to configure a series of user-agent identifiers in your browser to 'fool' your jQuery mobile website into thinking it's dealing with particular devices.
if all you want is to load a mobile url and see how it looks on different phones you could try this site

The PhoneMyPC tool in Android provides a remote desktop connection to the PC.
But now I am wondering whether Android based mobiles support the VNC protocol/softwares for a connection between 2 Android mobiles?
And furthermore do Android based mobiles support RDP or are there other tools to connect to other mobile OS's like windows, symbian etc ?
Thanks in advance,
Karthik Balaguru
Not really a programming question, are you trying to develop a solution?
Yes, there are applications in the market at this time that support VNC, and RDP protocols.
