Displaying shapefile maps in android application

I'm currently developing maps application for Android. I have map that I want to display in shapefile format (actually it's group of shapefiles). As I understood shapefile is quite unusual way to store full map data but I have to deal with it somehow. So basically I just need to display shapefiles data in my application. Does anybody know any free map engine that can display shapefile data? I have already tried osmdroid and mapsforge but these tools does not seems to support shapefiles, if I'm wrong link to some sample will be appreciated.

It's not possible to display Shape file format in Maps in Android. But i have implemented to select a shape file and convert it into KML format and then made one KML Parser that will manage all the projections data.

There is also another way by using GeoTools you can handle Shape file but i dont it works in Android.

Here is another post in SO so try any one Android lib to read or parse shapefile
