Is it possible to integrate ML Kit/TFLite with java desktop applications, rather than having them run on an iOS/Android device?
I'd like to try out the barcode scanning capabilities on scanned documents.
Thanks
As of now, ML Kit is meant for mobile devices, and thus the iOS / Android focus. There is no desktop application support as of now. We would love the community to take this up as we love ML Kit to be used in as many ways as possible.
If it is just for prototyping something, the closest I can think of is firing up the mobile emulator on the desktop and use ML Kit.

Can anyone provide guidance on how to integrate a camera with Windows Universal Platform?
Specifically, I need to see how the MediaPicker service is implemented.
I have searched tirelessly for a working sample of camera integration with Windows Universal Platform (Windows Phone 10).
I have pulled down XLabs and still don't see support for this platform.
I realize Xamarin.Forms only has a preview version of this.
Is it currently possible to test a UWP application on my own XBOX (not publish, just test on my own personal XBOX One console)?
Based on MS's faq: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/developers/ID...
"For developers working on Universal Windows Apps, you’ll be able to test your games on a retail Xbox One sometime after the second half of 2015"
However I can not find any good details explaining the process for testing/sideloading applications on an XBOX One. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
You can now
Good news, you are ready to go today. Here are a number of links to get you started and sideloading:

Not yet, but soon!
No, it is not possible to deploy a UWP app to an Xbox One yet (early 2016). Late 2015 was mentioned, but like many things, the release has been pushed back.
The best advice I can give is to wait for Build 2016 where it's expected we'll be given an update on the situation.
Prepare for Xbox One
In the meantime, as a developer, you can prepare your UWP apps for Xbox One by following some basic rules...
Make sure your UWP app works well at 1080p. If your PC monitor is a different resolution, use the simulator to test
As Xbox users use an Xbox controller (or voice or Kinect gestures) to navigate, make to test your app for proper keyboard support - as well as touch and mouse for phone/tablet and desktop users
Pay attention to current apps already on Xbox, those built-in and from the Store. Most apps on PC and phone simply won't suit or be useful on the Xbox. Consuming media (video, music, images) or small pieces of content is ideal.
I am trying to build my ios application for android. Is there any chance to use windows azure mobile services framework in native objective-c code? Or should I use java and call my azure mobile services table items from it ? Thank you in advance.
If there's an Android version of azure, you could use BridgeKit to bridge the android library to objective c APIs.
http://docs.apportable.com/using-java
There are native Azure Mobile Services SDKs for all major mobile platforms (iOS / Objective-C, Android / Java, Windows Phone, etc). There are excellent tutorials available on the Azure website:
iOS: http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/mobile-services-ios-get-started/
Android: http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/mobile-services-android-get-started/
If you are looking for cross-platform development you could leverage Xamarin (C#), Sencha or PhoneGap which all have samples at the above site as well.
If you want to serve multiple platforms a better approach would be to create a service layer which works against your Mobile Service (f.e. build with ASP.NET Web API). This service layer would be called from your clients. The big advantage is that you don't have to write code multiple times and changes can be done at a central point. If you concentrate on RESTful services nearly every platform can call it.
Currently that seems to be a lot of overhead with an already finished iOS implementation, but imagine the situation when you want to support other platforms, such as Windows 8 or Windows Phone 8. At this point you have the same problems again.
I developed the game in j2me. I need emulator for screen 240x400 touch and 360x640 touch. Where should i get ?
Download any of the manufacturers custom SDKs (SonyEricsson, Nokia, LG, Motorola )and find a device with your resolution
PS: It may be difficult as many of them moved to Android or other technologies
I'm currently involved in a research project that requires me to access a Windows Mobile Camera and sound recorder with J2ME to, well take pictures and record sound... the phone has to be a windows mobile for some reason that has nothing to do with me and the software has to be written in Java, also not my decision.
So I need to try and find a phone that supports this (if one exists) so I'd like to know if anyone has found one?
Thank You For Your Help.
(Note the phone supporting MMAPI (JSR 135) does not imply that you can use the camera and sound recorder, our current phone has this and has not access).
First, if you have any Windows Mobile 6.x device, please try to use JVM build for Windows Mobile from Sun Microsystems => http://blogs.oracle.com/javamesdk/entry/jvm_for_windows_mobile
Or, you can buy LG Monaco (WM 6.5) from AT&T network. It has Java ME with MMAPI camera support. Also, LG Incite (WM 6.1) have MMAPI camera support.
As I know, recent HTC WM device with Java ME also support MMAPI camera features.
Good luck.
