Using Google Breakpad for Android NDK?

Is anyone using Google Breakpad for Android native code (NDK) ?

If so, could you elaborate on how to get it up and running (the client side that is). The docs are very limited and don't mention Android at all. The build system contains android information though which make me think it shouldn't be a problem.

Sorry about that, I did the initial port but I didn't really document anything. However, one of the Chrome engineers did some work on the port and wrote a really nice README: https://chromium.googlesource.com/breakpad/breakpad/+/master/README.ANDROID

There's also an NDK-compatible Android.mk file in there now, so if you're using the standard NDK build system it should be simple to incorporate Breakpad.
