You can compile firebird project by modifying make files with -shared
parameter to get a .so dynamic link library instead of executable file
After that, call to main() function into .so generated library from you apk
with this parameters:
argc = 1
argv = "your app name", any other string or Null Pointer

Yes.
After copying (to have full functionality) you should create security
database from backup using gbak, create firebird.msg in 2 steps (restore
msg.fdb from backup & use included build_file utility, -? switch will
show you how to do it).

The only known way for me to run utilities is to use any text terminal
for android. Certainly, fbclient.so may be used by any application that
can load it. (Remember, it's FB3 i.e. embedded access is done also using
fbclient.)

I believe that's what should be solved with good installer which we are
missing. I've started
./firebird &
on tty and it worked for me (in simple tests) in all 3 modes - classic,
super and SC.
But certainly it's not a way to go for enduser i.e. currently we are
ready to provide only client and embedded access.
