What is Android Native?

Android Native development refers to building applications using the Android SDK (Software Development Kit) with languages like Java or Kotlin, and leveraging the Android NDK (Native Development Kit) for performance-critical sections using languages like C and C++. This approach provides direct access to device hardware and operating system features, enabling high performance and optimized user experiences. It is commonly used for games, multimedia applications, and other resource-intensive tasks where close-to-the-metal performance is crucial.
