I think you cannot speak of a  conversion  here  That will be a whole project  To  convert  it i think you have to write it again for the iphone   Have a look at this question   Is there a multiplatform framework for developing iPhone   Android applications   As you can see from the answers there  there is no good way of developing applications for both platforms at the same time  except if you re developing games where flash makes it easy to be portable

I m not sure how helpful this answer is for your current application  but it may prove helpful for the next applications that you will be developing   As iOS does not use Java like Android  your options are quite limited   1  if your application is written mostly in C C   using JNI  you can write a wrapper and interface it with the iOS  i e  provide callbacks from iOS to your JNI written function   There may be frameworks out there that help you do this easier  but there s still the problem of integrating the application and adapting it to the framework  and of course the fact that the application has to be written in C C      2  rewrite it for iOS  I don t know whether there are any good companies that do this for you  Also  due to the variety of applications that can be written which can use different services and API  there may not be any software that can port it for you  I guess this kind of software is like a gold mine heh  or do a very good job at that    3  I think that there are Java- C C   converters  but there won t help you at all when it comes to API differences  Also  you may find yourself struggling more to get the converted code working on any of the platforms rather than rewriting your application from scratch for iOS   The problem depends quite a bit on the services and APIs your application is using  I haven t really look this up  but there may be some APIs that provide certain functionality in Android that iOS doesn t provide   Using C C   and natively compiling it for the desired platform looks like the way to go for Android-iOS-Win7Mobile cross-platform development  This gets you somewhat of an application core kernel which you can use to do the actual application logic    As for the OS specific parts  APIs  that your application is using  you ll have to set up communication interfaces between them and your application s core
