In what way are they exposed for use? I certainly haven't seen any API which lets you touch any of the standard GUI utilities without writing JNI wrappers that communicate to the Java based UI elements. As far as I know there is no way to use the actual Android API: you have to write a wrapper through the JNI to use the Java version. Can you point to a native library which allows you to hook in to the Android SDK? I'd be very interested in seeing it.

By the way, the Android APIs aren't really meant to be used by native code: the only real use for native code in Android is GPU code and math code (think games and DSP-type programs).
They may not be "meant" to be in some sense, but from Android 2.3 on they are exposed for such use --- and I believe language porting like this is one of the intended uses.
