11 - Android applications are Java-based, optionally with parts written in C
12 - As SDL apps are C-based, we use a small Java shim that uses JNI to talk to
13 the SDL library
14 - This means that your application C code must be placed inside an android
15 Java project, along with some C support code that communicates with Java
16 - This eventually produces a standard Android .apk package
