java - Converting a Delphi 5 engine control app to Android - need advice on the approach -


i have app written in delphi 5 want convert run on android 2.x. app pretty simple; used upload/download configuration files separate microprocessor on modbus serial link. (it's engine management chip use in boosting horsepower in turbo-diesel engines). haven't programmed since pascal days @ uni complete beginner willing invest time , have source code of course.

from reading have done far, appears re-writing app in java seems common solution suggest using monodroid? appreciate definitive advice around versions , tools should put - eg install java sdk or @ monodroid , convert existing code? thing find challenging getting right approach/environment setup - i'm overwhelmed information , choice here! once sure have right approach, figure out details go there nothing worse spending hours , hours fiddling 1 approach later learn wasted!

my objective here functionality of existing code replicated possible in android, not replicate , feel , not become android programming guru :)

really appreciate guidance on this...

there's 1 option haven't mentioned on here. don't know it, , think it's still under development might not stable enough or full-featured enough yet, have looked delphi android cross-compiler? if works easier translating java or clr language.
