Abstract :
Android which Google released as an open-source mobile phone operating system is a Linux-based platform; it consists of the operating system, middleware, and user interface and application software. xFace is a cross-platform web application engine for mobile Internet. As a global leader in mobile web application engine, xFace has the advantages of versatility, easy to master, universal. It significantly reduces the effort of development; while the services of testing which porting layer provides, will greatly reduce the developer´s development costs. A perfect transplant will greatly reduce the Android platform migration workload, but also to make widget´s operating efficiency to be improved. This paper describes xFace of native code (c++) runs on the Android (java) platform through JNI called, xFace porting layer (c++) also calls the Android platform APIs(JAVA) by JNI, such as Graphics, HTTP and other related system modules.
