Is there any way to develop an Android app entirely using C++ without encountering Java at all? I think this question will be considered as off topic but please. Plus, I'm not asking for answers of "Why don't you just learn Java?" or "Any reason you want to avoid Java?". It's because, i don't have the patience to learn it.

  • A bit harsh on the sentence. But i'm really desperate for the answer/solution –  May 09 '20 at 09:01
  • Does this answer your question? [Write applications in C or C++ for Android?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1002164/write-applications-in-c-or-c-for-android) – nada May 09 '20 at 09:07
  • @nada Any helpful guides on it? I knew it before but haven't found any clear tutorials –  May 09 '20 at 09:09
  • @nada Plus, Doesn't NDK is used to link C++ with Java? I don't really understand the verbose and felt like INTENTIONAL hard structures –  May 09 '20 at 09:12
  • Sadly it's really not very straight forward as writing Android programs in Java. That's probably because of the [ART](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_Runtime) architecture. – nada May 09 '20 at 09:23
  • To be more helpful: I once successfully followed [this tutorial](https://github.com/SFML/SFML/wiki/Tutorial:-Building-SFML-for-Android) for building a C++ program for Android. SFML is a framework comparable to the more popular (but a bit lower-level) SDL mainly used for games. – nada May 09 '20 at 09:25
  • @nada Funny thing about ART is that it uses a language to beat itself for another language –  May 09 '20 at 09:29
  • @nada Anyway, thank you! Hope that i could understand the tutorial –  May 09 '20 at 09:29
