Thanks guys for the feedback.. Really where I am right now in my evaluation, i just need to know if it can be done or not.. Sounds like the answer is yes... :-P.. I'll do some digging for examples but its not important to my POC right now.. The absence of the capability would be an issue, but if its there thats what I need to know for now :-).
you guys should look at building a mdroid assembly generator like mtouch does for monoTouch :-)...

Hi Josh You’ll have to write JNI wrapper and drop them in as Java Source files. There are a few examples floating around, and it is a little fiddly. As a heads-up I’d recommend using JAVAP (with the –s option IIRC) to extract the method info if you are having trouble getting the parameter strings correct. If you really get stuck then email me and I can check if my early-alpha JNI wrapper service is operational … it might at least be able to wrap a few methods and give a starting example for you.

I noticed in the limitations of Mono for Android it lists 3rd party JAR files.. Is there any way to wrap third party JARs for reuse? For instance if I need to write some custom code in Java (say for an API that wasn’t wrapped for some reason).. or I wanted to reuse a component like ChartDroid… What would the process to do that be? Or is it just not possible right now, and if not what is the ETA for supporting that? Thanks Josh
