Why this SDK can't develop by c/c++?

[mixfan]

I was no interesting with Java , why it can't be developed by c/c++.
:confused::confused::confused:

It's so pity

I feel the same way, though I totally get that Android wants to avoid people rebooting their mobile phones due to runaway code. Also, kind of sucks to recompile applications when they get Android running on some other architecture.

Hi Chaps,

Good news, you can program C/C++ on the MoSync development kit, Mobile Sorcery is planning on releasing a Android version at the beginning of 2008.

the C/C++ is still converted into java and ran on the JVM so there isn't a performance gain. At least thats what I gathered from MoSync

if it like what "aj7418" said, I think MoSync is useless.

Let's look at this objectively: Java has a reputation for being slow, but given JIT compilation and a fast-enough VM, Java can be plenty fast.

Just looking at the sample apps on the emulator, it's clear that THIS particular Java platform has come a long way from the slow and clunky Java apps that run on your free (with rebate) Samsung.

1) Write a "hello, world" program.
#include

int main(int argc, char** argv) {
printf(”hello world\n”);
return 0;
}

2) compile

armv6-vfp-linux-gnueabi-gcc hi.c -o hi -static

3) ./emulator -console:
launch emulator and copy the program
adb push hi /system/sbin/hi

4) rum from emulator terminal
cd /system/sbin
./hi

5) OK!
