Android lib to read or parse shapefile

Question

is there any library that is able to read parse a .shp file, preferably on where I don\'t need to use NDK. I was trying to use GeoTools but i can\'t seam to get it to work o

Answer 1

I've been using two lightweight shapefile parsers with good results in Android: diewald_shapeFileReader and Java ESRI Shape File Reader.

Geotools relies heavily on AWT and Java Service Provider Interface (SPI) both not supported by Android. So it´s not a viable option.
