Why creating TIZEN native applications, and Tizen accept Android applications??

Hi,

I'm a BADA developer, I want to change to Tizen, but I know that Tizen accept android applications, so it's important to change all my android application to Tizen?

Android applications will be 100% compatible?

In the future it's recommended to use Android, or native app Tizen, Why?

Sorry for disturb

Thank You

Hi, afaik there are 2 solutions for Android apps: Infraware PAG: http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/infraware-develops-android-to-tizen-game-and-app-conversion-technology-to-boost-tizen-ecosystem-203176641.html OpenMobile ACL: http://openmobileww.com/products.php

that's mean that no directly compatibility of android application in tizen devices? you must convert your app to be compatible with tizen?

Both solutions are based on a Dalvik clone. Tizen + Dalvik = Android, so apps are not really "converted" imo. We'll probably have more info in the coming weeks ;) Infraware is a Korean company so I suppose they are backed by Samsung.

"The current (Infraware PAG) implementation is based on Android 2.3 Gingerbread, so that means none of the ICS and up only apps, will be available" http://thehandheldblog.com/2013/05/23/android-apps-on-tizen-polaris/
