You'd have to ask the Android people, as they are the owners of this alternate implementation. IIRC, they have not released the code generator program to go with it, so you probably won't be able to use it.
The official protobuf implementation in "lite mode" should work great on Android -- this is exactly the use case lite-mode was created for. Add the following to your .proto file in order to use lite mode: option optimize_for = LITE_RUNTIME; So I'd recommend using the official implementation, but again I know almost nothing about Android's implementation so it's hard for me to make an informed recommendation.
