Android Apps on Playbook.

Does anyone know of any other sites apart from Goodereader to download Android Apps onto playbook?
i have had a look on web but can only see the Good e reader site.
any ideas please.

There is http://playbookbars.com/ but from there I once picked up an illegal copy of a paid-for app and was told in no uncertain terms by the owner to unload it right away.  I would stick with your first choice. We tend not to go into too much detail on sideloading because of the implications of picking a bad one

  • Android Apps? Really?

    Maybe it's just me but I cannot find the thousands of Android Apps for Playbook that were suggested in the marketing.
    I guess I naievly thought that all Android Apps would work but I'm finding that there are only a small number of games that seem to be available on Blackberry App World.
    I have seen some instructions, very lengthy instructions, on adding this, resetting that, creating another thing and, if all goes well you can "sideload" an app that may, or may not work. That isn't what I expected after reading the information on OS2, that simply stated I would be able to use Android Apps.
    I am really hoping this is just my own ignorance and lack of information, or perhaps even I am looking in the wrong place for apps? Some that I would like to use call for the clicking of a white shopping bag icon to access the Google Play Store App. Is that app available?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    the android apps i app wolrd look no different than the native apps as they have been repackaged forapp world and most dont advertize they are android either
    only way to tell is swipe up and look at the bottom part of the window of the app running to see if there is any android contols there
    Google play does not work on the playbook, Only app world.

  • Show error at the time of checking compactibility of android apps in BB playbook Google Maps API not support?

    Hello Friends,
    Please Help
    I am trying to check the compactibility of android apps in BB playbook but I get error message
    "Your application is not compatible with the BlackBerry® Runtime for Android™ Apps."
    This package not support
        uses-package    com.google.android.maps
    But actully issue is I am not using com.google.android.maps package in project.
    But It also shous the error of google.maps package.
    Please help me tell me the solution regarding that.
    Only this one issue is not solve.
    Thanks Billions!!

    My Eris? Only minor occasionally glitches (force closes or bad apps) and just recently found one tiny dead spot in the LCD screen (no big thing). Biggest thing is I have NOT had to pull my battery in months! I think it was more my fault the last time it happened.
    The main reason I think my phone is so problem free is I did a factory reset soon after 2.1 OTA update.
    Btw I went from a Motorola W385 to the Droid Eris. Big learning curve, but I enjoyed the trip. LOL

  • Will the playbook ever get Native email? What about Android Apps?

    I was told the bridge was just to be a temporary fix until native email would be compatible on the playbook. Does anyone know if this will ever happen?
    I was also told we'd get to download android apps eventually. This also hasn't happened. Does anyone know if this will ever happen?
    Thanks

    The Co-CEO of RIM stated very clearly at BlackBerry World Conference that an on-device PIM was coming, within 90 days or end of summer, I don't recall which, as well as promised an Android app player(and Angry Birds for the Playbook!). So far, none of the three have been delivered.
    Waiting with you.

  • Playbook 4G does not run any android app

    Hi,
    I've just purchased an used Playbook 4G then I wiped it after few hours using without backups.
    But after updated to the latest os 2.1.0.1917, there are not any android apps able to run while other native or flash apps work perfectly.
    Everything from the tablet works except the android apps. The berries screen appeared in several minutes then it close.
    Please help me.
    Thank you very much.

    I upload the apps throgh the add-on on Chrome and vnPButils, sometimes through DDPB. Even the androids i downloaded from BB world that can't run.

  • PlayBook App to Android App...

    Hi,
    I've developed some apps with FB for the Blackberry PlayBook. Now, I'm looking at porting them to Android. The problem I have is that there is many screen sizes for Android.
    Do any of you have any tips, or what do you do to make your apps fit all of the screen sizes? What scale mode do you use? Do you make your assets one aspect ratio and leave borders around the app if it doesnt fit perfectly?
    Also as this will be my first Android app, do any of you have any tips or anything I should be aware of?
    Thanks for any help you can provide!

    Are you using Flex & MXML or is it a pure ActionScript project?
    Apart from the screen resolution you need to take the screen size into account. A button (or piano key ;-] ) on a Playbook 7" screen at 1024x600 will have a different physical size in centimeters than on a 10" Honeycomb tablet at a similar resolution, and may be harder to hit with your finger. Don't measure in pixels, but measure in cm's, mm;s or inches. Also, be aware that the DPI reported for many Android devices is incorrect and needs to be overruled.
    If you're using Flex, this should get you started with scaling and multiple densities:
    http://blogs.adobe.com/jasonsj/2011/05/comparing-css-media-queries-vs-application-scaling. html
    Or google for Flex Media Queries.
    My approach is to use Flex's built-in alignment. I've also found that contrary to Adobe's recommendations, on most modern devices (Playbook and the better Honeycomb tablets), performance is more than adequate to use MXML and vectors to skin most components. I tend to use pure AS only for components that need to be really performant, such as components that are in item renderers of long lists. There is little reason to code a dialog in AS if it only pops up once in a while.
    I've also found that using Flash to create vector assets, and embedding them in Flash Builder works quite well. Vectors are easy to scale, and careful use of bitmap caching, object pooling and re-use  helps a lot.
    Now, if your app needs to run on older or less powerful hardware (e.g. cheap Android 2.2 tabs), or if it's a fast-moving game where framerate is important, then that's a very different matter. But do test the various approaches on different devices, because all  roads lead to Rome...

  • PlayBook Help with Android Apps / Google Apps ** Advice Needed Plz **

    Good Evening Everyone, I need some help and advice please regarding a Playbook.
    I had a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7" and found that firstly i could not move apps to SD Card so i sold it.
    But now i want to buy a Blackberry Playbook and understand that Android Apps are on the new software update.
    But i am trying to find out if i can buy them from Google Android Apps as i have a Google Account and used to buy android apps from there, can they be used on the Playbook??
    Finally can someone advise me if there is a SD Card external port if i wanted to add a extra 32GB of storage. Looked everywhere on the Spec but with no joy finding out.
    Any help and suggestions would be really Handy.
    Its Nearly 2013 so wishing you all a Happy New Year.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    1) a far as I know, no SDcard reader available for the PlayBook currently.
    2) Android apps, that you can download from the Google Play with your Google Account will not work on anything else than an Android powered tablet.
    3) what you have certainly read on the internet, is that "the PlayBook can run Android apps", which is not exactly true.
    What is true is this, and you will be quite disappointed:
    A) applications for the PlayBook are either web applications (like GMail using the browser), or applications installed from the App World (it is a Blackberry store, just like the AppStore for iOS or Google Play for Android).
    B) for a given developer that has developped an application for Android, it is very easy to convert their app to the BlackBerry format, and publish it on the App World.
    ====> basically, if you want to install an application that is available for Android, you have to wait for the developer to port the application to the BlackBerry PlayBook.
    for the financial issues, I believe that if you buy an app on Google Play, and the app is available on the App World, then you have to buy it again (and vice versa).
    I will end by saying that if the only reason for you to sell your Galaxy Tab 2, is that the apps cannot be moved to the SDCard, then I am not sure the PlayBook will suit your needs for that aspect.

  • How to get Android apps with dauphin browser

    Hi.. l did try to get Android apps with dauphin browser but it keep sending me back to BB apps what do i have to do to get tout Android apps...
    Thanks in advance for helping.

    Ok your loosing me a bit here. why are you going thru a browser to download an app... just go into the appworld  (app) on your playbook and have a look thru them to see what you want to download and then do it that way... as far as android apps are concerned, they are not shown in appworld any differently than others...  you can do a search for them as well in the top right corner if you need...if its been made available for BBPB it should be there...
    hope this is some help... 

  • Is there an Android app in 2.0

    Hello again folks.
    I have been trawling and come up with http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJCVNiBp2ug&feature=related which shows a playbook using 'Android app player'? I have read a few threads that talk about this app and that it was included with the upgrade. I do not seem to have it. Can anyone tell me how to obtain the app please? I have searched Blackberry App World but here is nothing I can see that fits the bill.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards
    Ross
    Regards to all (except BB)
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The Android App player is baked into the PlayBook - so there's no 'app player' as such now. It's all invisible to the PlayBook user.
    When you download apps from AppWorld, some are packaged Android apps.
    For instance, if you search for the BBC News app - this is an Android app ported to the PlayBook. Run that and you will see.
    Hope that makes it clearer.

  • Issues when a cross platform android app is run on Blackberry 10 alpha simulator

    I am facing problems in running a cross platform android App in blackberry 10 Alpha simulator.The App works fine when run in iphone,android devices.But when I run it in blackberry 10 it doesn't load the template files hence a blank screen.The project is based on backbone framework hence template files.Currently the files are local in my hard-disk. I am loading the templates using an ajax call. The logcat output generated of the same is listed below:- 02-08 05:30:51.861: D/CordovaLog(233525377): {"readyState":4,"responseText":"","status":404,"statusText":"error"}
    I have added in config.xml file . Is there anything else I am missing to make the app run on blackberry 10?? I had the same issue with nook HD which was avoided by using super.appView.getSettings().setAllowUniversalAccessFromFileURLs(true); in the onCreate method.But since blackberry uses 2.3.3 of Android,I am unable to add the same settings. Please let me know If I am missing any specific configuration related content for blackberry 10.Thanks

    Hey Steve_web,
    This issue can be caused when MAC address filtering is enabled on the Wi-Fi network, and the MAC address of the BlackBerry Playbook is not accepted. Try adding the MAC address of the BlackBerry Playbook to the accepted MAC address list for the Wi-Fi network and test.
    The following article may be helpful as well:

    Also if you contact the BlackBerry PlayBook support team they can do log review to determine the cause; you can find the contact information here: http://us.blackberry.com/legal/blackberry-playbook-complimentary-support-plan-terms-and-conditions.h...

  • Error installing apps on playbook

    Hi,I have playbook os2.1.0.1917.i have installed android apps successfully wit ddpb installer. But I gives error'app has stopped unexpectedly please try again later please somebody help me to solve this

    Try using Chrome with the PlayBook App Manager extension... Way easier for installing Apps.... Remember, just because an Android app installs doesn't mean it will run. If the app requires a later Android version or Google Play, chances are it won't run.
