Is it true that android.graphics.* depends on the native Skia library? If so, is it possible to access the Skia library in my native C/C++ codes?

Skia is not offered as a lib/sharedlib inside android, as its api is not guaranteed to be stable over time.

there is no sample implementation of controls in C/C++, all the widget/view sub-system is done in Java
