Tools
As an Android developer, you have a couple of tools you can use to help you convert your apps for the BlackBerry PlayBook OS or BlackBerry 10 OS. You can use these tools to help verify that your app is compatible with the BlackBerry platform, repackage your app as a compatible BAR file, and sign your app so that it can be distributed through the BlackBerry World storefront.
BlackBerry Tablet Simulator for Windows
Once your app is repackaged, you'll want to test it out on a tablet. If you don't have a BlackBerry PlayBook on hand, you can use the BlackBerry Tablet Simulator to test your application. The BlackBerry Tablet Simulator allows you to run and view your applications virtually on your computer as you would on a BlackBerry PlayBook tablet. Before you can use the BlackBerry Tablet Simulator, you should have downloaded and installed a virtual machine player. For more information on downloading the virtual machine player installing and configuring the BlackBerry Tablet Simulator, click here.
BlackBerry 10 Simulator
for Windows
You can use the BlackBerry 10 Simulator to run your applications as if they are on a BlackBerry 10 device.
The simulator is hosted inside a virtual machine which supports accelerated graphics, audio, and peripheral simulation.
This lets you test your application and simulate the touch interface using your mouse.
To install and configure the simulator, see the Simulator documentation.
