I’m starting to learn java’s JNI to use with an android device.

As I read somewhere, you must have some “glue” for the C++ part in order to be loaded through JNI.

My question is: Is it posible to have a run() function in C with the glue for JNI having that running the real app and having java only for the entry point?
Because I don’t know if when invoking that run() function through JNI it may cause problems if that function calls another functions and so on.
Thanks for the tip!

EDIT: I want to code in C++ using ndk and trying to avoid coding in java. thus, I wanted to know if a) if I can compile and run in native with ndk or b) if i can use java only to invoke my app, example: calling woth jni something like app->run() and let it do all stuff instead of java. then, java will act only as an entry point.

    If you want to develop for Android in C/C++ (no Java) AND you target newer devices (Gingerbread, android-9 app platform onwards) consider using NativeActivity.

    See http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/NativeActivity.html and folder inside NDK package $NDK/docs/NATIVE-ACTIVITY.HTML together with the sample code $NDK/samples/native-activity.

    Good luck!
