When having these Native vs Other discussions, is it possible you could use something more specific than the word native? It means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. For example is declaring layouts in an XML file in an Android app considered native in this case? I've heard others say that Android apps that run on the Dalvik JVM should not be considered native. Maybe you are talking more about Cocoa or Windows?

Native is whatever the operating system uses for user space applications.

Android uses Java, C and C++ for user space applications, hence native Android means all three languages using Android APIs.
