Are you aware that it only got introduced in Android 2.2 right?

And that as I mentioned it still is a work-in-progress, 2nd class developer experience (down to forcing JNI calls to C++ libraries on the device like e.g. Skia), compared with the Java based tooling on the Android SDK.

It doesn't seem to get the love an essential tool is supposed to get.
