It's clear that there's an arm-eabi-gcc tool in it's prebuilt directory.

Hi

This question is slightly out of context, I have following questions,

1. Can I have anroid w/o the davlick vm, application framework, and APIS ?
2. The motivation here is write custom applications on top libraries
provided by anriod platform ? In others words, I want to strip of java
virtual m/c, application framework and use anroid ?
3. Does Anroid platform have a shell which comes up once we boot on
the target can be used to run applications (strictly for debugging
purposes) ?
4. Motivation here is to use either c++ or c language for development
of applications....

Hope somebody would able to provide some answers to me or throw more insight....

Cheers,
Venu

You can take Linux + whatever user space libraries you want, but I
personally I wouldn't call this "Android" any more.

That isn't Android. A lot of what makes Android what it is the Java code,
which implements everything from window management and application and
process management to the user-space view hierarchy and other client
frameworks.

Use adb for this.

Android applications at this point must include some Java code to interact
with the rest of the system. If (and only if) you are writing an app that
will be shipped on a device, you can use JNI for its Java code to call some
native code that implements significant parts of the app. But eventually
there needs to be Java code to interact with the activity manager, window
manager, etc.

And of course right now native code in third party apps is NOT supported, so
those have to be all Java.
