How does native android code written for ARM run on x86?

Question

Motorola just released an x86 based Android phone. I\'m a little confused as to how native apps/libraries written for ARM(netflix for example) can run on this phone.

Answer 1

In Trend Micro Safe Mobile Workforce, we have an ARM runtime (not Intel's houdini) for native library in Android apps. So that we can support running APK with only ARM lib on powerful x86 server.
