You can call into any Android Java API from native code using JNI. It's not exactly convenient, but you are not limited to the C APIs exposed by the NDK.

Many Android APIs expect you to extend classes and implement interfaces for things like callbacks. You can't do that with JNI alone, you will have to have a .dex of your own anyway.
