Questions about Android JAVA

mmtbb · March 5th, 2010, 01:33 PM

I am thinking about switching from WinMo to Android. However, I am concerned about the language.

1) My main concern is with speed. Does android suffer in speed by using a java language compared to a C/C++ language?

2) I like to write games. I am learning C++ right now, but am not proficient. I am currently using an interpretive language with a C based graphics engine. I find that the graphics are pretty fast. The problem is, the interpretive code is slowing down my games. Is this a problem I will find with Android?

Thanks

huh?

but anyway.
you can use JNI to port over native languages codes over to android.
in this case only C

and remember that doing everything in your Emulator is slow
compare to your real device
