This is where you, as an Android developer, can find tools to help you convert your Android apps to make them run in the BlackBerry 10 OS. The tools shown below can help you verify that your apps are compatible with the BlackBerry 10 platform, and they allow you to repackage your Android app's .apk file as a BlackBerry 10 compatible .bar file. You can also use these tools to sign your apps so they can be distributed through the BlackBerry World storefront.

Android Studio Plug-in
