Hello there I implemented that few years ago in
https://github.com/olivierayache/xuggle-xuggler/
And when I tried to submit a patch to FFmpeg for add support for NDK I had
received this answer.
I think using NDK directly rather than JNI can be better in case of
developing native application on Android.
If I can help on these subjects I would be really happy

for encoding/decoding
To: <ffmpeg-devel at ffmpeg.org>
Thank for your replies I choose the NDK approach in order to be able to be
independant from the JVM, to maximize performance and to be sure to detect
compatibility issues (using JNI approach can compile and crash at runtime).
Concerning the version of Android it is compatible from API 21 (94% of
devices)
I agree that JNI overhead is not big but in combinaison with Xuggler it
seems to me a little weird because Xuggler (Java part) already use JNI to
interact with Xuggler (C++) and FFmpeg. If FFmpeg uses JNI in the other way
(from c to Java) it seems to me an anti pattern.
If you think it is better to begin to use JNI I could transform my encoder
and we could discuss about NDK after
