How did you manage to move from the 8 bit SUN Java bytecode to the 16 bit Android /Dalvik code ?
You are thinking of 8 and 16 bit in the wrong way. Those are simply details of the respective byte code instruction formats. For example, it's about whether an "add" instruction is encoded using 1 byte or using 2 bytes. It has nothing to do with the width of the executed operations (the JVM byte code instruction set includes 64 bit integer and floating point operations). Also note that this is only about the instruction opcodes: if you include the operands then several JVM byte code instructions are wider than 8 bit.
