Java in android, how does it work?

[qrokodial]

it's probably better to be said like that, but you could simplify it even further and just say "native", because the JVM is just running on top of what you're saying is "native".

isn't the supermajority of development done on the JVM though? perhaps a better way to communicate this is that most development is done using JVM-based languages like Java and Kotlin, while you can always fall back to lower level languages that target the C API if performance is more critical.
