BlackBerry increases the compatibility of Android apps - Tudocelular.com

One of the ways that the BlackBerry found to be able to substantially increase the number of apps for its smartphones was to allow Android apps to run. It’s clever, but it did not work as it should. Now, the Canadian company is increasing the compatibility of applications by facilitating the way they are ported from one platform to another.

A recent update to its developer kit substantially decreased the work the developer needs to make the app is in the Android run perfectly on a BlackBerry 10. The change is so drastic that at the beginning of next few apps of Google’s mobile operating system will run on BlackBerry year without any change in the installation package, the APK.

BlackBerry 10 was created based on a very famous operating system, called QNX. Even so, within this package there is a kind of virtual machine that allows Android apps to run some. This happens since the beginning of BlackBerry 10, but not all apps can run so easily. The update of BB 10 to version 10.2.1, which recently arrived, allows apps from Android 4.2.2, Bluetooth connection, data between apps and the possibility of correction of pronunciation sharing.

Even with so much help is still needed some work and exchange a few lines so that the app can run on the device – work that may have left disinterested developers, since there is not a lot of good apps there. From 2014, this scenario will change and APKs can be installed directly on the device without the need for reprogramming. However, this huge facility needs some requirements, such as features that BB 10 can work. [InfoWorld]

This can be a great help for the platform, as if, for example, Instagram does not want to create an app for the BlackBerry, just get the APK Android and play there. Ready!
