g2.drawImage() issue on android target

Currently asking in the Discord if anyone minds if I just remove the backend. Do you actually want to use it for something or was it just out of curiosity?

I think pure java code is cool and useful when imported as a lib/moudle to an existing android project. One important thing is that it's also very suitable for debuging (hxcpp is hard). Although I haven't try much. I think different target language (not only hxcpp or js) is one of most important reason why choose among kha, open and heaps. :)

Haxe-generated Java looks a lot like Haxe-generated C++, I don't think it's easier to debug. The problem with Android-Java is that it will always have bad performance, bad audio-support and outdated graphics-support due to restrictions in Android's Java-APIs which by now I think Google will never take care of - the text that's printed when you use the Android-target also warns about that and I would strongly advise against using it for any real project. The only nice thing is that it compiles relatively quickly.

What you list is very convincing pitch. I'll focus on android-native then. Thanks. :)
