How diferent is Java used in Android apps development from Java used to develop regular desktop applications? Can I use the skills acquired by developing Java Android applications in Java EE web development?
What is Java ME all about ?
From a language point of view, almost identical.
From an user interface API and application life-cycle point of view, almost completely different.
Yes. Your pure “Java-skills” will come in handy for sure. But as said above, the application life-cycle for instance, is completely different from most other scenarios.
JavaME is an older technique, typically used for phones without touch screens. It defines (compared to Android) a very minimal API and was originally designed to run on very limited devices compared to todays smart phones.
