Why Swing does not work on android? Where is wora?

Question

Ya ya, i know that question is old, android only supports an XML way of designing interfaces.

But my question focusses on "Why" android doesn't support Swing? A simple answer was given to me as "because it doesn't swing api installed in it". Hey, why cant it be installed? Because swing doesn't work on android; why?

What i know is somewhere beneath android there rests Linux. So with a rooted phone, can i make Swing work on android?

Ps- sorry if i 'over-elaborated' my issue.

Answer 1

It doesn't exist, everyone uses this compromises. There are some emulators and IDEs like Java N-IDE, but I think it is without Swing. Look for java FX.

Answer 2

Android doesn't provide true Java virtual machine
and doesn't support all new features of Java

Answer 3

How about installing a true jvm(if it exists)

Answer 4

As of all those ides, they don't even have the swing as a library installed on their default JDK

Answer 5

JavaFx looks promising...
