What Codename One Is
The foundation that allows you to do Write-Once-Run-Anywhere on mobile. This includes all of the tools required to convert JVM bytecode into native executables on each mobile platform. You dont need to worry about these, since this is all handled seamlessly by the build server.
A simulator that allows you to test and debug your app right inside your IDE.
What Codename One Is NOT
Codename One apps are not simply HTML5/Javascript apps wrapped in a web view. They are fully-native apps that are compiled down to native code, and they have full access to the native APIs of each platform.
Want to use some HTML in your app? No problem! Codename One has a WebView widget that will allow you to wrap HTML5 inside your app seamlessly.
Want to deploy your app on the web? No problem. Codename One apps can also be compiled to Javascript and run inside a web browser without requiring any plugins.
Yes you can! In fact you can even mix native widgets and light-weight widgets together inside a Codename one app seamlessly.
Yes you can. Access both system APIs and 3rd party native frameworks and libraries.
Open Source
The core of Codename One is free and open source. GPL+CE License so it is free to use with commercial projects.
Established & Mature
Over 180M app installs across numerous platforms. Version 1.0 released in 2012. Version 7.0 scheduled for Q4 2020. Codename One was the first solution to build native iPhone apps in Java, and is still the most mature, performant and stable cross-platform mobile WORA (Write-Once-Run-Anywhere) toolkit on the market.
