Manage Android application settings from C rather than Java?

Question

Could I manage Android application settings from C rather than Java?

I mean the settings that I could manage:

• for Android, in Java - through android.content.SharedPreferences interface;
• for iOS, in C - through utilities from CoreFoundation/CFPreferences.h;
• for Windows, in C - through WinAPI for Registry management;
• for Android, in C - ?

Answer 1

Yes, but it will be messy. In Android, you can use the NDK to access the sharedPreferences via JNI. See:
