Hello, This is Vikas Gohil.

I know we can develop android applications using Java.

I want to know since android supports java, can we do all the things that are possible using Java on desktop PC under a full fledged OS, in android as well.

eg. I know using Java we can work with Excel, Word and PDF Documents. So will these features also work on Android OS embedded in a Hardware.

Anyone worked on Android platform please share your experiences as I am totally new to android and embedded systems.

Thanks in advance.
Awaiting a reply soon.

The Android JVM is NOT fully J2SE. There is a lot of information here[^]

Thanks for the link. If Android JVM is not that powerful, does that means that any embedded system that supports Java, will not have JVM as J2SE.

@VikashGohil There's a whole host of different specifications for J2ME devices. You really need to know the device first to know what it will supports. At the lowest level, there's no floating point numbers - integers only - and at the top you get Android which is PDG, but specifically does not include everything. Sadly it's a case of reading up.
