You can run native code on Android through the NDK.
I'm pretty sure that's how projects like Stockfish managed it.
Yes. Android has its own dialect of the Java Native Interface. One
would have to make the backend into a library.
Another even more general solution is to run the backend in a
seperate process. This would be more cross platform.

think that's more than just a front end... doesn't android
run it's app
in a virtual Java machine? And the UI is also all Java as
far as I know...
on an Android application for Xiangqi, who is using my engine
HaQiKi D, which is written in C. And I see announcements of
top engines like Stockfish being released for Android. It is
hard
to believe that they would rewrite a 50,000+ line code base in
Java
just for the purpose.
