674226 - Xulrunner for Android

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Toolkit Graveyard :: XULRunner, enhancement)

Description

[Emmanuel Engelhart]

I need (I'm not the only one) to port my Xulrunner based application to Android. Unfortunately this seems to be still impossible.

What would be great (in this order) is:

1 - having Xulrunner SDK & binaries for Android ;
2 - if 1 not possible, having a good tutorial explaining how to port an application from Xulrunner to Android (using FF for mobile?) ;
3 - if 1&2 not possible, having an explanation of what should be done to get a solution and what would be needed (in term of time, money, skills).

I believe that you can build yourself SDK/binaries for android, but the Mozilla release engineering team has no need to at this point. I also don't know if anyone has solved the technical problems of launching a XULRunner app on android (you'd have to do something similar to Fennec, using a Java launcher). In any case, a bug is not the right place to try and solve these problems, please ask the mozilla.dev.platform newsgroup.
