It is using Google's Android NDK.  That means it's compiling to native 
ARM code.  Your application is built as a library (MyApp.so).  It then 
generates a small Java loader that loads and runs the native *.so.

I gave it a quick test with one of my apps (78.000 lines of C++ code and 
28.000 lines of C code).  It ran on Android without any modifications to 
the source code.  Of course it *will* need modifications, since the 
default sizes and fonts I use in my app aren't suitable for small 
screens.  But the fact that it actually works as-is is impressive.
