Android JNI, is there any way C++ code can directly read the app's sqlite database?

Question

I'm working on an Android app with a Java component and a C++ component via JNI. The C++ component is used on other platforms.

It would make my life considerably easier if the C++ component could query the existing SQLite database (via the SQLite C API), without having to shell calls out to the Java side.

I know it's a long shot, has anyone attempted this?

No, the NDK only offers limited apis. The only officially supports areas are:

• libc (C library) headers
• libm (math library) headers
• JNI interface headers
• libz (Zlib compression) headers
• liblog (Android logging) header
• OpenGL ES 1.1 and OpenGL ES 2.0 (3D graphics libraries) headers
• libjnigraphics (Pixel buffer access) header (for Android 2.2 and above).
• A Minimal set of headers for C++ support
