I have used LWUIT for this purpose. They created LWUITActivity class for android platform.

You have to completely rewrite your code from J2ME to Android. I was looking for a kind of translator from J2ME->Android but find nothing. In the end I'm now converting my J2ME codes into Android. Android possibilities are much more powerful than cut-down API's of J2ME. So you'll found that your new code will be nicer than elder J2ME code.

Though if you're going just launch J2ME jar/jad in Android - it's in theory possible, since KVM is just a subset of ordinary JVM (in case of Android Dalvik VM). There're some efforts to translate KVM byte-code into Dalvik's byte-codes. For instance look here

You may be able to take parts of your code across as android is still java but I would say that you're going to have to rewrite most of it and probably all of the code for the user interface. J2ME and Android are designed very differently
