c++ - Is porting from Android to Windows Phone possible without using emulator? -
i have c++ source code of game android. want port windows phone. hope mean change api platform-specific calls. problem cannot use sdk 8 emulator because have old cpu (and cannot buy new computer now). moreover, cannot use sdk 7.1 emulator because source code native c++.
questions:
can choose wp 7.5 target platform in sdk 8 , test xap file on emulator 7.1?
can port application without emulator , @ final stage test on other computer sdk 8 emulator?
instead emulator can test directly on phone, right?
other ideas missed?
first of all, doubt can port android c++ program directly windows phone little changes because platforms different.
of course can use c/c++ libraries in windows phone 8, created uses in windows, not linux (that android), , need port them if windows one.
here win32 api compatible windows phone 8: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/jj662956(v=vs.105).aspx
in relation questions, windows phone 8 sdk contains windows pone 7.5 emulators , can create windows pone 7 projects. of course, windows phone 8 emulators can execute windows phone 7 applications without trouble.
you can debug directly in phone, need developer account (99 bucks) , "activate" phone windows phone registration tool in sdk.
however, cannot use c/c++ in windows phone 7. base project version must wp8, , compatible win32 calls.
