title: Reading assets with NDK and Android 2.1
body: <p>Since my Android application aims 2.1 versions of the system, I cannot read my assets through the native asset manager provided in the lastest NDK. What I am doing to read these assets is to retrieve the application path with Java, send the path string to my native code and then I unzip it with libzip.</p>
  
  <p>Is it safe, or even the only way to do that on 2.1- systems? Are there limitations through different platforms or security levels?</p>
