Doesn't cwstring link to the iconv library? If yes, then I guess you
can give up on using it on Android. There is no iconv available in
Android for 3rd party applications. The list of available libraries is
very small, I described it here for API level 8 which is what I
usually set as my minimum requisite:
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Custom_Drawn_Interface/Android#NDK_Libraries_available_in_Android_2.2_.28API_level_8.29

Anyway, I wrote a 100% Pascal widestring manager implementation which
works in Android, it is available in the Lazarus source tree, here:
http://svn.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/trunk/components/lazutils/paswstring.pas?view=markup&revision=41389&root=lazarus

You can copy it to your project and use it.
