I'm trying to convert my Android project to an Objective C project with J2ObjC. So far, I managed to convert all my files which are not using any libraries. However, every class which uses a library receives an error. For example: error: package android.location does not exist.

In the documentation it states that you can't convert UI elements in J2ObjC. But the android.location package does not contain UI elements (for as far as I know). Is there a way to convert these classes anyway? Or is it only possible to convert code which is not using libraries?

Let me know if you need more info.

Thanks in advance :)

j2objc supports the Java runtime API (JRE), and only a very small subset of the Android API.

There is no plan for j2objc to ever support the android.location API, since its package description states that its use is no longer recommended. For a cross-platform app, I suggest defining a minimum interface to meet your app's specific location needs, then implement that interface for each platform using the Google Places API libraries.
