Using Android apps with native code on Blackberry

Question

When porting my Android app to Blackberry 10/Playbook, I get the error:

native-code: x86

This error has also been reported here and here. The app uses OpenCV for Android as a library project, which contains native code, and I'm aware that Blackberry lists native code as an unsupported feature. Is there any way to get apps with native code to work on Blackberry, even for experimental purposes?

From what I can tell, you'll have to port it over to Blackberry's Native Platform.

It looks like Blackberry put up a rough port on Github.

I haven't used it so I can't comment on how well it works.

Thanks for the link, I'll have to try building this when I have time. – 1'' Apr 14 '13 at 16:30
To clarify, will this require rewriting my OpenCV code in C++? Is there some way to use the Android wrapper? – 1'' Apr 21 '13 at 17:17
Yes. If you are repackaging the apk file into a bar, then you may not be able to use the OpenCV features. – Gopalakrishnan Subramanian Apr 29 '13 at 21:00
