I can already launch the android media player from pascal using JNI 
(without any java code), and I don't think there is a problem handling 
the player's events IF a java wrapper class that intercepts the player's 
events and calls native (pascal) methods is implemented.

My question is if it can be done without a java wrapper class as this 
would make android programming much easier (unless I have misunderstood 
your reply).
