Migrate existing android app on IBM MobileFirst to IBM Bluemix

Question

I have a locally created android app on IBM MobileFirst (in Eclipse). Is it possible to either push this existing app+mobilefirst environment to IBM Bluemix OR at least the existing android app to Mobilefirst container/environment in Bluemix?

Answer 1

I don't see the difference between the two questions in your question... anyway, you can indeed set-up an IBM container running MobileFirst Server by following this tutorial: https://mobilefirstplatform.ibmcloud.com/tutorials/en/foundation/7.1/ibm-containers/run/

You can then upload the .wlapp file to the server running in the container, and latestly - configure the Android app to connect to it.
