+<p>The Android NDK is a companion tool to the Android SDK that lets you build
+performance-critical portions of your apps in native code. It provides headers and
+libraries that allow you to build activities, handle user input, use hardware sensors,
+access application resources, and more, when programming in C or C++. If you write
+native code, your applications are still packaged into an .apk file and they still run
+inside of a virtual machine on the device. The fundamental Android application model
+does not change.</p>
+
+Using native code does not result in an automatic performance increase, 
+but always increases application complexity. If you have not run into any limitations
+using the Android framework APIs, you probably do not need the NDK.
