You can run native code on Android through the NDK. I'm pretty sure that's how projects like Stockfish managed it.

think that's more than just a front end... doesn't android run it's app
in a virtual Java machine? And the UI is also all Java as far as I know...

Well, I know nothing about Android. But there is someone working
on an Android application for Xiangqi, who is using my engine
HaQiKi D, which is written in C. And I see announcements of
top engines like Stockfish being released for Android. It is hard
to believe that they would rewrite a 50,000+ line code base in Java
just for the purpose.
