How is that different from Xamarin? Inbox is written in Java and Xamarin apps are written in C# but I think the idea is very similar - cross platform logic, native UI. Why would you prefer the approach Google took but dislike Xamarin's approach?

From what i know, Xaramin only has the ui elements that both platform supports. You are writing one UIX for both platforms, and thus you can only use the common-denominater uix. Which limits your uix.
