<div dir="ltr"><div>Hmm. I'm currently writing an Android application in Dalvik, which is Google's clone of Java. My understanding is that the Dalvik VM is the choice for android unless you have the luxury of tying your app to a specific hardware platform. You can easily get command-line access to your android phone (the PC interface in fact has a "shell" command), but the resources are available to you there vary by Android version and build. Also, unlike the Linux on your PC, most of your users will not have root access on their phones. You won't have root either, unless you've jumped through some more-or-less painful hoops to get it.<br>
<br>You can get a C++ SDK for Android from Google ( the "NDK" for "Native Development Kit"), and I believe that Eclipse has bindings for it. Its basic purpose is to allow developers to speed up processor-intensive code, much as you would code some parts of a large C application in assembly.<br>

I know Android use a Google JVM (Dalvik?). Are most apps written in Java/Scala? If they are, I would think porting would be relatively straightforward (I may be showing my ignorance).<div class="HOEnZb">

Riddle me this, why is that apps for android, which we all know is<br>
Linux can play netflix, rebox, and other video feed, but Linux can't?<br>
I am shocked with the number android apps that are there out there,<br>
that no one has though of create an app like crossover for android to<br>
Linux. It should be easy enough.<br>
<br>
With Flash dead for Linux, a lot of site that use it are now only a<br>
later version, thus making Linux hard to view them, but these same<br>
site have apps that work on android.<br>
<br>
Am I wrong to think, most apps for android, are nothing but web apps<br>
any that that just have a nice interface that points to a url?<br>
<br>
Yes, I understand that android is written for Arm Processors, but you<br>
think it would be easy to re-compile them for Linux.<br>
<br>
Just something I been wondering about as I have to create a windows<br>
virt for my son to use club penguin and cartoon network, when cartoon<br>
network app on android does the same thing on web, but only makes it<br>
easier to spoon feed the masses.<br>
