How to make a Windows application?

How can I make an application that runs on both Android and Windows?

  • I'm trying to find a way to develop an Android application and given that it's developed using JAVA I can imagine there being a way of compiling the same code using a different compiler with/without some code refactoring to run on a Windows machine as well.

  • Answer:

    Well, I'm not quite sure that's easily doable. The reason is that you are using a android sdk when you are coding for Android devices. Although you are coding in Java, cause you are using that SDK it means it can only run on Android devices. That being said, there are some cross-platform frameworks that you can use and they handle talking to Android/Windows apis. Although they look very appealing, I have not found any of them flawless. I still personally rather coding platform-specific codes. One other option you have is to build a web app that is cross-platform. But that means limited access to the device capabilities.

You can develop an app which works on windows and android and moreover all the platform if you develop an application in HTML5, all you need is to integrate that HTML5 application into an application for each particular platform through corresponding SDK and this doesn't require mastering each of the SDK . For example you can develop for Android using WebView to integrate your HTML5 app into an Android app The only backdrop of this approach is the app doesn't seem to work so fluidly as the native applications work and as you might be knowing HTML5 is still under development this also might prove to be a negative aspect of this approach
