One Line Summary

The android.system package lets you do things you used to have to turn to native code for, without giving up the benefits of a managed runtime.

Abstract

The android.system package exposes the same OS access used to implement Android’s internals to app developers too. Want to open a file O_CLOEXEC? Want to make a PR_SET_DUMPABLE prctl? There’s no need to write JNI for that any more.
