Dalvik isn't a just JNI layer. It's the name for their VM, which interprets and JITs Dalvik bytecode, has a GC, and just also happens to implement a JNI layer. Dalvik runs atop the Linux kernel, and Linux provides thread support. Mono runs threads by using the Linux kernel (pthread_create(), etc.). Dalvik and Mono are both in the same process. It's really no different than having a Java VM and Mono/.NET loaded into the same process (which is entirely do-able; just LoadLibrary() things into a process). The complication comes from trying to get the two VMs to interact with each other. - Jon _______________________________________________ Monodroid mailing list Monodroid@lists.ximian.com UNSUBSCRIBE INFORMATION: http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/monodroid
