Utilities for C/C++ Android Developers: fplutil 1.0

Today we're announcing the 1.0 release of fplutil, a set of small libraries and tools by Fun Propulsion Labs at Google (the FPL in fplutil) that is useful when developing C/C++ applications for Android.

fplutil introduces the following:

• build_all_android.py, an all-in-one build script that
  allows you to build (with the Android NDK), install and run native
  (C/C++) Android apps from the command line. This is ideal for build
  automation, but is also useful in a developer’s compile/run loop.
• buildutil performs the configuration, build and archive steps
  of Android and Linux C/C++ applications using a suite of Python
  modules. This suite of modules can automate builds in a continuous
  integration environment. This framework uses legacy tools in the Android
  Development Toolkit.
• libfplutil enables C/C++ developers to write traditional applications (like Hello World) using "main()" and "printf()" on Android.
• android_ndk_perf.py is a desktop tool that enables native
  (C/C++) developers to measure the CPU utilization of their applications
  on Android, guiding their optimization efforts. An example report is
  shown below:
