We are investigating android and the recent versions of the ndk adds lots (perhaps all) of the needed tools. So if anyone wishes to donate for android development (with hardware) please.use the contact info on thr homepage and perhaps we can do something
AFAIK no device even have a tablet running Android, even less something htpc like. (Tegra devices have never counted as they are to slow) .as always don't see this as any type.of promise as it depends on some developer taking lots of his freetime and devote to this (big project) .

If dev's dont have the hardware could you consider starting with http://www.android-x86.org as you put this on regular beige box's rather than buying special hardware and later move to ARM hardware once it semi-running. According to android-x86 forums have ffmpeg working on already.

Would you consider creating a wiki page of required dependent libraries for the port and what has been successfully compiled. Is it (libxmu fribidi mpeg2dec ffmpeg samba fontconfig curl python libass libmodplug libmicrohttpd wavpack libmms libsdl-image libsdl-mixer virtual/egl mysql5 sqlite3 libmms faad2 libcdio libpcre boost lzo2 enca avahi libsamplerate0 libxinerama libxrandr libxtst bzip2 virtual/libsdl jasper zip-native zlib)?
Did you see https://github.com/vault for fontconfig port.

Can i ask what is the main tasks to port it, apart from the dependencies, for basic painting the xbmc menu system, i doubt you require ffmepg for the main menu.

Is is essentially integrating android_native_app_glue.h for the the windowing/Winsystem.h interface to replace X11/Xlib.h?
