Some days ago, ARC Welder popped up in the news. I guess it was Thursday?

What is ARC? (see Getting started with ARC)

The App Runtime for Chrome (Beta), or ARC, lets you run your favorite Android apps on Chrome OS.

and also in your Chrome browser.

It's strange, but a logical consequence.

We tried our native Android client with ARC Welder and it was working without bigger problems:

ARC Welder - JVx Android Client

It wasn't possible to use the integrated MAPS API, maybe a problem of the beta version or our build?

I'm not sure if it's useful to run an android app on a desktop because the app was designed for mobile devices, usually. But as test environment...

But it could be interesting for JavaFX applications which were converted to Android apps? Not really for desktop pcs, but for Chromebooks.
While Applets will be banned from browsers, ARC could be something similar

It's still strange but we'll be ready for it.
