How to retrieve the supported android JNI version in a device?

Issue

I need to know if JNI is supported in a android device and which version. Which function call can I use for doing this ? Also should I call this from Java side or the NDK side ?

Solution

You can use JNI from any Android app on any device.

JNI provides a GetVersion call. You can also specify a minimum version as the return value from JNI_OnLoad or as an argument to AttachCurrentThread.

Older versions of Android supported 1.4. Newer versions support 1.6.

As always, it's good to start with the JNI Tips page.
