Is ART sandboxing application like Dalvik?

I was wondering and googling for an answer, but I didn't find it. So, is newer ART sandboxing apps like Dalvik VM? To be more precise, can image from this link be applied for ART too? http://davidchang168.blogspot.rs/2012/07/android-vm-and-application.html

Solution

  • So, is newer ART sandboxing apps like Dalvik VM?

    The Dalvik VM does not sandbox apps. The Android OS sandboxes apps. ART changes the nature of what is executed (AOT-compiled bytecode instead of JIT-compiled bytecode) in the app. It does not change the nature of the Android process model and the sandboxing approach.

    Yes.
