kernel is irrelevant, is abstracted by libraries.

Android diagram shows that most high level functions are Java (see http://code.google.com/android/what-is-android.html blue boxes), those are native when using Java. All Android application model is there.

C/C++ only seems to include graphics libraries, codecs, SQL, SSL, i.e. not much.

Im totally agree with sbvb.

Android is linux and the development using native language must be encouraged.

For many reasons, Android MUST have a C/C++ SDK. For instance: I have countess lines of code written in C++ and wxWidgets; of course, I want to compile this to Android. Don't tell me Java is better. I'm focusing in reusing my code.

I've spent many hours digging out the web, finding "hacker-like" recipes to use native code on Android, as well as my own hours of experimentation. But that's not the way it should be.

For the sake of Android, the Google development team must provide a complete C/C++ SDK for Android, much similar of the one found in Linux. Development tools such as g++, make, ldconfig, ar, etc. should be included in this C/C++ SDK for Android.

If Google does not provide this C/C++ SDK, Android might get discredited.

I think you're out of luck: they've made it very clear that there's not

going to be support for anything but Dalvik Java for the foreseeable future.
