Conversion
Compilation

8. DROIDRUNNER: CONVERSION MODULE
Conversion of:
Functionality: Java to C#
UI: XML to XAML
Other Resources

9. DROIDRUNNER: CONVERSION MODULE (JAVA TO C#)
Conversion of Functionality involves:
Global Variables
Custom Methods
Event Listeners
API Mapping
Permissions Mapping

10. DROIDRUNNER: CONVERSION MODULE (XML TO XAML)

Challenge: Relative Layout to Absolute Layout
Algorithms developed for an element’s:
Row
Column

11. DROIDRUNNER: CONVERSION MODULE (XML TO XAML)

12. DROIDRUNNER: CONVERSION MODULE (XML TO XAML)

13. DROIDRUNNER: CHALLENGES
Persuading developers to explore the Windows Phone platform
Conversion of XML to XAML
Direct API Mapping
Varying Programming practices

14. DROIDRUNNER: CHALLENGES (API MAPPING)
Case 1
Integer.ParseInt(x)
Convert.Int32(x)
Case 2
textView.setText(x)
textView.Text = x
Case 3
String.valueOf(x)
x.ToString()

15. DROIDRUNNER: CHALLENGES (API MAPPING)
startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL, Uri.parse("tel:" + editText1.getText())));
PhoneCallTask phoneCallTask = new PhoneCallTask();
phoneCallTask.PhoneNumber = editText1.Text;
phoneCallTask.Show();

16. DROIDRUNNER: CHALLENGES [CODING PRACTICES]
The following piece of code
startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL, Uri.parse("tel:" + editText1.getText())));
May also be written as:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:"+ editText1.getText()));
startActivity(intent);

17. DROIDRUNNER: ACHIEVEMENTS
COMENG (TURKEY) 2014 paper publication
IEEE MS (USA) paper acceptance
Microsoft Partners and endorses droidRunner
