Thanks, Alvaro.  Does this apply if you wish to develop apps other than games?

Hi Steve,

These are the two I've used:

http://www.apress.com/9781430226475
http://www.apress.com/9781430230427

Android Pro Games explains a bit of JNI interface, but it was written
prior to Native Activity (Android 2.2) and even NDK times, but is
worth reading.

Also these: http://commonsware.com/

Best
