Linking SQLite library using NDK on Android

Question

I need my app to use the latest SQLite as I am going to need FTS with ICU tokenizer which is not supported by Android.

I did not find any proper resources over the net that tells how to do it but one thing I think I could do is compile latest SQLite with NDK and write a JNI Wrapper on top of it and use it in my java android app.

I'm not sure how good or bad is the decision? Are there any better ways? Any resources that could help me in any way?

Answer 1

Well I went ahead with this approach. I was able to compile the latest SQLite with my required tokenizer and didn't find any problem with it. Will update here if I find any issues in future.
