title: Interaction between Java and Android
body: <p>I am currently trying to research how to use Android with an existing java based system.  Basically, I need to communicate to/from an Android application.</p>
  
  <p>The system currently passes object data from computer to computer using ActiveMQ as the JMS provider.  On one of the computers is a display which shows object data to the user.</p>
  
  <p>What we want to do now is use a phone (running Android) as another option to show this object data to a user with wifi/network access.</p>
  
  <p>Ideally we would like to have a native application on the Android that would listen to the ActiveMQ topic and publish to another Topic and read/write/display the object data, but from some research I have done, I am not sure if this is possible.</p>
  
  <p>What are some other ways to approach this problem?  The android Phone needs to be able to send/receive data.  I have been using the AndroidEmulator for testing.</p>
