  abstract = {Smartphones get increasingly popular where more and more smartphone
	platforms emerge. Special attention was gained by the open source
	platform Android which was presented by the Open Handset Alliance
	(OHA) hosting members like Google, Motorola, and HTC. Android uses
	a Linux kernel and a stripped-down userland with a custom Java VM
	set on top. The resulting system joins the advantages of both environments,
	while third-parties are intended to develop only Java applications
	at the moment. In this work, we present the benefit of using native
	applications in Android. Android includes a fully functional Linux,
	and using it for heavy computational tasks when developing applications
	can bring in substantional performance increase. We present how to
	develop native applications and software components, as well as how
	to let Linux applications and components communicate with Java programs.
	Additionally, we present performance measurements of native and Java
	applications executing identical tasks. The results show that native
	C applications can be up to 30 times as fast as an identical algorithm
	running in Dalvik VM. Java applications can become a speed-up of
	up to 10 times if utilizing JNI.},
