Patience. Eventually, we've been told there will be a JNI-ish sort of mechanism. This would allow you, in theory, to keep the same general structure as you have today, except instead of an Objective-C stub, it would be a Java stub. This makes two huge assumptions: 1. That the JNI-ish sort of mechanism does come to fruition 2. That what you're doing in the game uses APIs available to C++ code and not exclusively to Java code in Android The answer to #2 probably won't be clear until #1 is achieved. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 1.9 Published! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
