Can I just use the libraries from FFmpeg in an Android app?

After some time on the Web, I found that I have to use the FFmpeg in my app. I found a lot of things related with Android and FFmpeg. I just want to use FFmpeg, but I can't create the libraries and also I don't know how I can use them.

I just want to receive an RTSP stream and then somehow put it in a videoview or mediaplayer. I have the NDK already installed in my eclipse, and I know how to use CYGWIN.

Android supports the RTSP Streaming Protocol by default, using the MediaPlayer Only i was able to stream RTSP. But the limitation is that you cannot manipulate or customize the Media, for that you have to use Libraries like FFMPEG,Vlcj You can Set up FFMPEG environment by following this link http://www.roman10.net/how-to-build-ffmpeg-for-android/

I haven't tried the vlcj on android, but works on Desktop applications very well. Hope this is helpful

I tried to use the FFmpeg library in my Android app following this tutorial: Tutorial Link which is really good. I created the library, called right in app too. But what I wanted was streaming links with MMS protocol and I couldn't do it, because I don't know how to work with native methods, so I'm using the vitamio plugin. It's very simple. If you discover how to use the FFmpeg library appropriately please share with us.

Sorry for bad English, not my native language.
