Yeah, I found your code online and was looking through the different classes. In the back of my mind, I knew that would have been too good to be true.

Oh, well, I have an Android phone and I think I might play through Gemini Rue again using that! Very awesome stuff you've accomplished. 

I managed to get it loaded onto my PlayBook, but it force closes immediately. I ran RIM's compatibility test and this is what it gave me:

uses-access-native:impact=5:com.bigbluecup.android.EngineGlue
uses-access-native:impact=5:com.bigbluecup.android.GamesList
uses-access-native:impact=5:com.bigbluecup.android.PreferencesAcivity

Basically, the PlayBook doesn't support the above APIs. I'm not sure what they are exactly. "EngineGlue" sounds pretty important though.

"impact=" refers to the severity of "unsupportedness". 5 is the absolute highest.

I'm hoping this could potentially be only a few tweaks away from being PlayBook compatible.

JJS, yes, the PlayBook is the BlackBerry tablet. With the new PlayBook OS (OS 2.0) Android developers will be able to release their Android apps in Blackberry App World. The only thing that is required is that the APK be converted to a BAR file. I'm sure there is more tweaking that might need to be done, but, generally apps seem to work well after the conversion.

I actually converted "AGS_2012-01-24_19-04-16.apk" to a BAR last night, but am unable to install it on my PlayBook without first getting a signing key from the RIM servers.

Here's a little video tut: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKnjadDc0M0

I might be able to tinker with it later tonight or tomorrow and let you know how it works out.

* EDIT: This just popped up today:

So, if you have any other existing Android apps, you could get your hands on a free PlayBook--it's how I got mine.

Would it be possible to compile the APK to a BAR for PlayBook users? That would make my day if it were possible. :o
