> c# is not native code and WPF is not a native UI "Native" confusingly has two different commonly used meanings. The one you seem to think is the only meaning distinguishes VM from non-VM runtime code (where C# is non-native). This meaning is the N in Android NDK. The other common usage is "the preferred local platform specific language and dev stack", eg "A native Android app" which usually means "written in Java compiled to dalvik/art" distinguishing from a webapp or an app that is just a packaged webview.
