Hi,
I remember seeing some discussion of research into this a while back. I have just got a Android tablet so was wondering what the state of play is on this?
I come across JBED
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1189303which seems to claim the ability to run jars though an emulation layer. I
tried this but it is looking for a midlet/jad descriptor file. I will investigate this, but has anybody been down this route?

Once again.. great to hear this!
Looking forward to the branch,
Christian

I have confirmed that the BaseX Java code will compile and run in Dalvik. However, there are problems when trying to provide a BaseX Android service without being able to pass Commands as objects, but I have had to make mods to BaseX to support this.
I will be contributing my code changes as a branch of BaseX when I get some time in the near future. An Android port of BaseX is possible! Let me know if you would be interested in teaming up on developing an Android BaseX client for a BaseX service.

Hi Eric,
That good news.
I would be very happy to help with testing, documentation etc. I don't think I have the knowledge to help much on the development.
