- marian0_ 9y agoMost Android apps use a handful of native code libraries which are bundled inside the apk. It's usual nowadays to only write the UI using Java and use C for the rest.
- ekianjo 9y agoLinux is just the kernel for Android, the whole userspace is not written in C, and that is what matters in the end for performance and efficiency.
- mpweiher 9y agoLots of mobile apps are written in Objective-C, and Objective-C is C. A superset of C to be exact. Since it's a single hybrid language, it's trivial to remove slower features fro, performance-intensive parts.
