TDD the C++ Layer of an Android App

on YouTube ↗38m

" summary

Claims that C++ reduces audio latency by moving signal processing into native code, with a YAFA sound‑processing app built via JNI and tested end to end. Uses Android NDK and CMake to compile shared libraries, runs unit/instrumentation tests with Robolectric for faster JVM emulation, and executes native tests on device with Google Test and adb. Details include copying native libs into test assets, mocking JNI boundaries, and CI runtimes that can reach hours.
