>Android is open source
>Linux is open source

Why can't someone make Android apps like MS office run on desktop Linux? I know MS office is closed source, but the OS it runs on isn't.
>>
Someone do the same for grindr please
>>
>>58449407
Because apps aren't open source and even though you can decompile them it isn't perfect, so it requires a lot of work to convert that into a working application.
>>
If you don't know why it doesn't work that way then you don't belong on this board.

>>58449407
It's certainly doable. Want to do it? Sounds like a project that would be fun to work on, and get to learn a lot about Android on the way. I'm out for the rest of the day but I'm baggatea on freenode if anyone fancies making this work.

You can already do that easily. If you don't know how, then you are an idiot.

>>58449407
its already done, use Remix OS

We don't need another distro, we need to strengthen our most popular distro.

No. Android apps are usually compiled to Dalvik bytecode, Android's take on the Java JVM, and are platform independent like Java apps. Some contain ARM binaries and those are platform-dependent much like Java apps that have JNI.

>>
>>58450556
Agree. To make this work would take:
>a Dalvik VM running native on Linux
>remove the one-user-per-signing-key mess and have the apps storage in ~/.local/share/ and cache in ~/.cache
>a graphical and input wrapper for (fixed size?) windows using X + OpenGL (ES?)
>android notification -> desktop notification (libnotify?) compatibility layer
>a launcher replacement with desktop (.desktop?) integration
>replace Android's audio with a PulseAudio client (seen this done before already I think)

Anything else?

>>58454010
Oh, an installer for double-clicking APKs, and possibly include fdroid.apk by default.

>>58456505
Why does JAVA exist?
Shitty boiler plate code: yes
Shit performance: yes
No low level/serious programming: yes
Never used for serious applications like Autodesk Maya and high end games: yes
Run once, debug everywhere: yes
Might as well use C++: yes

noice. thanks anon

Because Google SDK is nonfree just like half of fucking Android's runtime.

Too bad the courts allowed this abomination of java esque aids as being completely a-ok and not a violation of Oracle's copyright.

Maybe a rewrite and massive multi billion would have put the fear of God in these pajeet faggots

Wrong Android has nothing to do linux. A fair comparison would be comparing Android to GNU or GNU distros like debian.

Memory management and safety, platform independent binaries, huge set of libraries, decent support for multithreading, raise exceptions rather than undefined behaviour, works well with static analysis tools.

C++ is raw power for real developers. What businesses want is to employ pajeet-tier devs and trust them not to shoot both their legs off with a fucking simple off-by-one error.

Android is a completely different os with its own built in stack, API's, and libraries but it runs the linux kernel.

First, Android isn't really Oen source completely.. But seriously if you want something that can make Work document files for free in a open source software in linux. Use fucking Libre Office. I use it to do most of my college work now. (Use a Raspberry Pi as a productivity PC. Since most video runs like shit on it when streamed in HTML 5)
>>
>>58457680
Dynamic language without type safety. Great for rapid development, resists static analysis far more than C/C++ and is hard to refactor without really good test coverage.

Fucking children in this thread. It's not about having a working office you moron, it's about something being possible and having more than one way to do things. You've got to be the dullest dullard if you can't imagine what having Android apps on the desktop would give you.

Scraping Uber using location hacks, using Shazam against files on your filesystem, running Android games, exploiting the freebies given to people in return for their tracking data without sharing said data, running apps remotely or sharing them. The sky's the limit.
