I have application already written in JAVA Applet/Swing and want it to port to Android.
My questions are:
1) How much is the change of socket,threads, APIs changed in Android? Are the frameworks different?
2) Any way to reuse AWT/Swing code in Android? If not whats the best alternative and easy way out?
Sockets and threading are vanilla java – so no change there, end everything is expected to work. UI stuff and application lifecycle were changed radically, so your you will have to develop everythign UI related anew.
Good news is, that UI stuff is more sane and easier to work with than with applets.
