I want to develop android application so that it also works on blackberry. I have searched that blackberry onward 10 and blackberry playbook supports android application and android player to run android applications. So in my application I'm using C2DM Push notifications from server so does this feature is supported by blackberry android player, if I make this in native android?
For the above scenario do I have to make application in native android and blackberry each or I can make for only android and it will run in blackberry with the C2DM feature?
Thanks in Advance!!
Android C2DM requires the presence of Google Play (formerly Android Market). Without this component, your client won't be able to receive notifications.

I saw that there is a DHU for Testing Android Auto Apps during development.
At the same time, there is an Emulator with system images from Volvo and Polestar to use Android Automotive in Android Studio.
I found this on Google Android Auto webpage:
You enable Android Auto to connect with your phone app by creating
services that Android Auto uses to display a driver-optimized
interface to the driver. You reuse these services for your Android
Automotive OS app, but users do not install your phone app on their
cars.
I was wondering if I develop some app for Android Auto, how complicated is the process of transforming this app to use it in Android Emulator or as an Android Automotive App?
The whole let's say business logic behind Apps should stay the same and services, according to Google, should work on Automotive as well? So the only difference is in UI?
Thanks!
Take media app as an example
It isn't complex, there is step-by-instructions at https://developer.android.com/cars to port your Android Auto app to Android Automotive OS.
My requirement is to communicate with any of the Garmin device(which has BLE support) with my native android app. I have already developed an android app which can connect with Wahoo Tickers (using their android sdk)and users can directly read data from ticker (no need to install their official app).
So far my research, Garmin have Connect IQ SDK which has a mandatory requirement of installing Garmin Connect™ Mobile app.
Is it possible to connect/pair with the Garmin devices using Android/iOS Core
Bluetooth API (without even using their sdk and app)?
Unfortunately I don't have any Garmin device yet. After this research I will purchase one for real testing.
Any link or answer will be helpful. Thanks.
I'm looking for a way to have my android wear device locally communicate with my android tv. I was hoping that I could use the wearable Message API, which doesn't seem to work on android tv (probably because the android tv doesn't pair with android wear).
Ideally I was hoping if this would be possible without having to relay messages through the mobile phone app.
Any suggestions? Thanks
You can't connect to any other device directly, for example through Bluetooth or Wifi.
All connections need to go through Google Play Services using Data Layer API or Channel API.
For that, all devices need to be paired using a Android Wear app. Theoretically you could install Android Wear app on the TV but I don't think it will be usable with the controller.
How do I send and handle notifications from an Android app in the BlackBerry hub? I am using the Android runtime on BlackBerry 10. It does not work out of the box if I use Android notifications the regular way.
I was at the BlackBerry mini jam in Hamburg yesterday, November 27th, 2012. The marketing guy responsible for the Android runtime said there are definitely apps which are able to do this, however he could not provide me with details on how to do so.
If you have a dev alpha device try flashing it with beta 4 which includes support for C2DM (push notifications).

If using the simulator, just download the latest version of the simulator.

According to RIM Support a working release of the Blackberry Hub should be included since BB 10 10.0.9.2264 (I am on 10.9.9.339 which might be the problem)
I am developing apps for ios and android sdk. Is there any tutorial that explains how to port an existing android app to blackberry, and to publish it to the blackberry market?
I have no clue as far as blackberry is concerned. I saw a recent video on RIM playing an android app on an blackberry playbook. Is there is a possiblity of porting an android app in blackberry playbook? Does the porting only narrowed to blackberry playbook or the all other blackberry products?
The android player works on the QNX platform which is what playbook has. You can port your android app to run on the android player fairly easily and test it on the playbook. when the new Blackberry 10 phones are launched, they will run QNX and your ported android app should run on it.
Although the android player has limitations. Among several limitations, one I can recollect is it cannot do C2DM.The others are
It cannot run
anything built using the Native Development Kit
apps containing only App Widgets
apps containing more than one activity tied to the Launcher.
any packages which rely on Google Maps
in-app billing services,
Android's text-to-speech engine
I dont think it is worth spending time and money to port your android app to blackberry devices pre 10 as RIM has announced that they are killing java on blackberry. So best bet is to use android player and port your app to run on it so it works on playbook,blackberry 10 onwards.
Porting existing android app to blackberry is explained in below tutorial
