You wrote an Android app in C++.

...how!? How did you even learn how to do this? I've never seen a github repo or documentation or tutorials that even mentions doing this. Nothing on the developer.android website, nothing in any YouTube tutorials. I'm blown away.

you can use NDK to create an app with c++

Really cool that this is written entirely in CPP.

All the NDK demos/examples I've seen are usually using JNI in some fashion.

Yeah I remember that Android pretty good had documentation and tutorials about the native-activity. It was not really advertised, more of "do this if you really want to" kind of feature. But it worked perfectly.
