SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the problem of turning an Android application into a HarmonyOS/ArkTS-compatible project by running a repeatable, module-by-module migration loop with automatic build, packaging, on-device entry validation, and end-of-migration feature/UI comparison to prevent omissions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-agent iterative migration: Coordinates analysis, planning, translation, testing, and feedback for multiple migration rounds until omissions are resolved.
  • Build-and-validate per module using ohos-app-build-debug: Uses compile validation, HAP packaging, and first-screen on-device verification as the quality gate for each migrated module.
  • Global feature + UI comparison: Compares Android vs HarmonyOS capabilities and UI consistency after all planned modules are migrated, then routes remaining gaps back into the planning stage for another iteration.
  • Use Case: When migrating a medium-to-large Android app (e.g., Activity/Fragment-based UI and Room/RecyclerView usage) to HarmonyOS with API level constraints (<= API 22), reliably produce a buildable ArkTS codebase and systematically close missing features and UI mismatches.

Quick Start

Provide your Android source path and the HarmonyOS target project path, then instruct the AI to run the full iterative migration workflow using this skill with validation via ohos-app-build-debug.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I migrate Android Activity and Fragment components to HarmonyOS ArkTS?

To migrate Android Activity and Fragment components to HarmonyOS ArkTS, use a module-by-module translation workflow that converts UI and logic into ArkTS equivalents and validates the build per module.

What is the best workflow for translating an Android app to HarmonyOS without missing features?

An iterative Android to HarmonyOS migration workflow translates code module-by-module, validates builds per module, and compares global features and UI to route remaining gaps back into planning until omissions are resolved.

How does build validation work when migrating Android code to HarmonyOS?

Build validation during HarmonyOS migration uses compile checks, HAP packaging, and first-screen on-device launch verification as quality gates for each migrated ArkTS module before proceeding.

Can I migrate a medium-to-large Android app using Room and RecyclerView to HarmonyOS?

Yes, you can migrate medium-to-large Android apps using Room and RecyclerView to HarmonyOS by iteratively translating storage and list components into ArkTS equivalents while respecting API level constraints.

How do I fix UI mismatches after translating an Android app to HarmonyOS?

Fix UI mismatches after Android to HarmonyOS translation by running a global feature and UI comparison that identifies inconsistencies and feeds them back into the planning stage for another migration iteration.

What are the limitations of using an iterative code translation approach for Android to HarmonyOS migration?

The iterative code translation approach for Android to HarmonyOS migration requires API level constraints at or below API 22 and necessitates repeated build and on-device validation cycles to ensure no functionality is missed.
