Hm=2C are the issues related to that library being in an APK? I don't see h=

ow you can=20

have Android give you access to somebody else's library unless you have bee=

n signed

with the same private key. If you are saying 'technically' accessing system=

 libraries=20

then I agree but in that case you have an issue with distributing the libra=

ry as you=20

cannot distribute system libraries via the Android processes.
Perhaps I have missed the point=2C Android security prevents you accessing =

resources

that you have not been given a priori permission to use to ensure the syste=

m cannot

be compromised by malicious code. If you want to root your device and hack =

it to get

to the point where you can overcome that security then that can be achieved=

 but that

comes back to another point I made:=20
Why introduce that level of complexity into the system?=20
Why not just get a Linux port for your handset/tablet and have done?
Regards=2C nick.
