Redevelop? Considering 're-developing' something would mean coding it again, then yes.
Totally possible, but it would involve at the very least decompiling the apk, unobfuscating the code, translating the java to c#, transferring all images into your new project, re-building the user interface, and more.
Wow. That's really a lot of work .
its the same amount of work for pretty much any OS. iOS apps would require the same thing.
So , this is possible to achieve ?
I mean, yeah, its possible. Garneth just explained how a few posts ago. It would pretty much require the same amount of work from any type of app unless maybe an .apk to a .bar since BB somehow is able to run Android apps.
Is it possible to redevelop an apk file to xap ? Just asking .
it would be much easier to get the developers attention with 10,000 requests for the app on wp,
but then you'd have to find 10,000 people using wp that want -that- app.
if 10,000 people pinged with $10 a piece, you -might- get a dev's attention. unfortunately, that's not a lot of money for a single developer, and not even lunch for a big app development team.
We're not talking about stealing someone else's work here . Just for education .And getting the developer's attention wouldn't involve violating his intellectual property rights. We're developers here, and we're talking about stealing someone else's work???
oh come on, have a little more faith in WP Nokia sold somewhere around 10 million Lumias (supposedly) this quarter, so I'm sure you could get more than 10,000.
Also, $100,000 is actually a pretty nice chunk of money to start-ups. Remember Hemlis? They (supposedly) had a goal to set up servers that were untappable and offer a seamless IM service for $100,000.
But I agree, getting dev's attention is the best way to get an Android app to WP.
