I'm not sure if you have used that to do any kind of intensive code. I've used it for real time video processing (H264 encoding/decoding and playing from a custom protocol) and it's not a good development experience in the least. It's extremely hard to get good debugging working, eclipse is a giant pile, most of the other IDE's for Android don't support C/C++ ndk, and there a mountain of little special compiler tricks and options to learn. Not to mention the JNI tricks and hidden issues. It's far from ideal. I REALLY!!! wish google would step up and provide a real solution to the problem there. Compared to how easy the same things is on iOS, Windows mobile 8, or bb10 is fairly frustrating.
