Double Sided Book Browser 1 minute, 57 seconds agoQuestion by ジョジ（George）: How can I convert an executable to a format Android phones can read?
Most of Android applications are written in Java, but I’ll use something else … I have no problems making the EXE file, but can someone please tell me how to convert it to a file Android can read?
Best answer:
Answer by Matt
android cannot play exe files because this is a windows extension, whereas android is more of a Linux distro…

No, why?
1: the java that android uses and the java that standard computer uses are simliar, but not cross-compatible. Granted there is a porting tool, but that is for developers.
2: the exe is for windows only, can will call apound window’s software librarys in order to run the program, which will not exist on the andriod
In most cases, when porting an applciation from computer to phone, you will need access to the source code (available only to software creator, unless otherwise noted) and adjust it to work in the other software environment.
Bad news, friend. You can’t convert it.
An application is not like a picture or a sound file.
As was said, your application is made for windows, and it won’t work in any other operational system.
If you are a programmer and you’re programming your application in any other language (what is your “something else”?), one possible thing would be finding a program to convert your code to java code (and these programs usually are not reliable).
If you want to make applications or games to run in your phone, you’d better learn to program in java.
I’d recommend you to use Eclipse, which is freeware compiler.
Android system does not understand PE format. so called windows exe files are in this format (PE stands for Portable Executable but it is not so portable after all!). likely Android executable frmat is ELF, a well-known widely used (among several systems) “codes container”.
moreover, the code into windows executable files is for x86 processors (or for CLR, not JVM), and Android hardware for sure has no x86 processors and afaik no x86-opcode compatible processor too.
so basically, it’s nonsense “converting” an exe (specific format, specific system, specific machine code for specific processor, specific library bindings) into “a file Android can ‘read’” (oh, as passive data you can transfer the exe to android as it is, but forget it can run it or even “see” that there’s code inside! just data to it!)
You cannot convert it.
