I've seen an app offer a link to a recommended version - one button first time you run - and you then just have to "open" it with the app (and it'll use the DLL from the "Downloads" folder). That's not seamless, but it's pretty close.

The fact that android doesn't offer any native way to have apps depend on dynamic libraries is ridiculously user hostile on its part.

Wow, does non-rooted Android let apps load libraries from the Downloads folder?

Seems like that could create some pretty big security issues.

Hmm, you're right. That's the way I remember it working but maybe I'm getting confused.
