I can't speak definitively or officially, but I can make some observations. > 1) If I want to write/port a C/C++ application engine and write a Java > App that accesses it, how can this be achieved? Well, you can do it like this person did: http://code.google.com/p/mandelbrot/ There are some pages on the web that explain various bits and pieces. This is not a supported mode of development, which really just means that whatever you do is very likely to break the next time the system is updated. The changes required to make your stuff work again might be minor or might require a redesign. If you really want to go this route, there are no mechanisms in place to stop you. > 2) If this is not possible, will it be possible in the future? If so > when? Native development will be supported in the future. No details or schedule have been announced. > 3) Is this is not possible, is it only not possible for 3rd party > developers?

There is no secret installer or hidden build system. We are, at this time, recommending that you don't do native code development. It would be inconsistent and counter-productive to say that and then spent lots of time explaining how to go about it. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
