Otherwise you have to statically link in the non-android C library and everything else that you use so that you end up with an executable that only depends on the (version of) the arm Linux kernel.

It should be possible to deploy a solution to this task using an ordinary 3rd party APK without special permissions. You could implement it entirely in java if you understand what it needs to do, or to do it with a java application containing native jni subroutines (built from C/C++) which do all the real work. The hardest part may be determining the device's IP address. Bear in mind too that most mobile network providers put you behind NAT and firewalls such that your IP address is not externally reachable to external connection attempts. This would make your project likely only worthwhile in the narrow case of an android device connected to a custom local network which is willing to route external traffic to a particular client. -- unsubscribe: android-porting+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com website: http://groups.google.com/group/android-porting
