I managed to do some stuff in Android with it, back in the day. I
created a Python script
<https://bitbucket.org/ldo17/jniglue/src/master/> that generates
slightly more convenient wrappers around the entry points in the
JNIEnv object, e.g. for the NewStringUTF method:

    static inline jstring JNNewStringUTF(JNIEnv* env, const char* a1)
      {
        return
            (**env).NewStringUTF(env, a1);
      } /*NewStringUTF*/

so you call it like this:

    const jstring msgobj = JNNewStringUTF(env, usebuf);

I felt it made things much more bearable.
