possible port from android? - ImTheDJ - 2011-10-17

I have a live wallpaper for my android tablet that acts as an audio visualizer. I'm hoping that someone here has the skills to port this into xbmc, check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zk3zl4iE1k

I looked inside the .apk and saw a few xml files and a folder with all of the png images that are used, so I figured it would be somewhat 'simple' to recode it so that it works as a visualizer in xbmc. I have a link (from the developer) to the .apk if anyone is interested. I'll only give the link to those who can possibly port it to xbmc; if you want it for your android device, buy it from the market like I did.

Update: I now understand that this was coded under Java using OpenGL ES. I don't understand Java coding myself, but from what I'm beginning to learn, couldn't someone just translate the OpenGL ES API calls into regular OpenGL or DirectX API calls?
