I am also facing the problem with Java in my iPhone. I think we have to setup VM first and then try to install it.

Btw, just so you know, the number one mobile browser in the world is a Java ME app, called Opera Mini. This runs on almost any cellphone, and is one of the most successful J2ME apps out there.

Actually, Java ME is on most devices in the world. The problem is that here in the US most people focus on Blackberry (which has a compatible Java ME environment so J2ME apps do run on it) and iPhone, while outside the US, and especially in Asia, most apps are actually Java ME and run on the Nokias, Sony’s, etc in those countries.

Also, since people write in Java for the Google Android environment, one could say that IS Java, or at least Java compatible. I don’t care about the “brand”, simply the programming environment, as do all developers.

If you say that there is no Java VM going with an iPhone – how do I install Java apps on it? I’ve read about many people who do it.
Do I have to find and setup a Java VM first, and only then I may install java on the device?

And you can find out what phones or other mobile devices are running Android OS? Phones that are running Linux of course not, but linux is linux, it works even on mobile devices, I think that the phones with the Android OS will be as reliable!

@Russell I am confused, are you saying that Android is Java based?

J2ME is on all/most nokia, sony ericsson, samsung, lg, motorola, blackberry, … that would give it a 75%-80% worldwide market share. So its the no 1 platform for developing on it games, business apps, …

Most small devices (such as phones, including Android) are based on ARM. A now mandatory part of the ARM architecture is hardware based Java bytecode interpretor.

This means Ellison was right. On small platforms, Java is more or less ubiquitous.

While JavaFX doesn’t run on all the current phones that have Java installed (which is simply because they have no update mechanism built in and that J2ME has been quite fragmented which has led to all sorts of problems – as Bob pointed out), I would expect to see it starting to appear on devices (such as Nokia’s and Blackberry’s) over the next year or so.

@Peter if it does not have a JavaVM it is not Java based. It’s like saying GWT is Java based.

BTW, I would love to be proven wrong on #4.

Point 3 is true in only the most pedantic sense. True, Dalvik doesn’t run Java bytecode, but the only code it runs out of the box is Java bytecode compiled to a .dex file. The only time this makes a difference is if you’re generating bytecode at runtime, or if a feature doesn’t make its way to Dalvik.

@Jethro – I go to JavaOne every year and there are 10 mobile phone vendors there with Java on there phones and Java is on all blue ray devices and on chips and on the desktop for a total of 10 billion devices with Java on it.

There are probably that many devices with Java but it doesn’t matter. The problem is all the versions and capabilities are different for each device and it is impossible to distribute software easily to the devices.

I can’t even get JavaFX to run in the browser on my machine because for some reason the latest JVM won’t install, runs fine as a desktop application but not in the browser.

So it doesn’t even matter if there are or not that many devices, Java as a language is awesome I think but as an end-user application platform it still has a ways to go.
