Is it possible to create an application in C / C ++ for Android?

Yes, it is possible, There is something called NDK (great the translator used on this site, translated up the code :)).

• Obviously you'll have more performance
• It may be better or easier to do some specific things
• You have much more control over memory, you can avoid the garbage collector
• can use desired libraries in these languages directly
• You may be using a language that is most comfortable.

If you remember something else I post.

• It's harder to program in these languages, it's easy to make more mistakes and create insecurity, it's less productive
• is not the primary language, needs to interoperate with the Android JVM
• Some things in Android are harder to use with NDK.

Here's a kick, go from Java or C #, even if you say little I can infer that it is the most appropriate path for your case:)

    

Well, for normal applications I do not see advantages, so much so that I knew ndk I thought that it was possible to create 100% C / C ++ applications, but it is not so, so much that something that eluded me most was the fact that there are native views in the findViewById style picking by xml, I recommend using it for applications that need performance as an emulator or a game, in this case you will be able to create in 98% pure C / C ++.
