Would that make Android development that uses XML layouts and the Dalvik JIT VM "obviously not a native app"?

- Pacabel 12y agoRight. If there's bytecode of any sort that needs to be converted to machine code on the fly, then we aren't dealing with a native app. We wouldn't consider a Java app running on HotSpot on a desktop or server Linux system to be considered a "native app". Thus we shouldn't consider a Java app running on Dalvik on a mobile Linux system to be considered a "native app" either. Maybe that will change in the Android case if ART and its AOT compilation approach is more widely adopted. But that'll still be some time in the future, if ever at all.
