title: Do apps using multiple processes share a Dalvik instance?
body: <p>I'm studying Android process management and I'm wondering whether apps using multiple processes (not threads) share a Dalvik instance or there exists a Dalvik instance per process, even for the same app.</p>
  
  <p>Could you point me to some official source (<strong>doc, talk, paper</strong> etc.)?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
