Using libvlc on Android with NDK

Question

I am currently a little versed in libvlc on android using the NDK. Well, I understand how to use native C code in an Android app. Now I would like to use the libvlc library to create a simple player that will read data from the socket.

Can libvlc be used at this level? The problem that I see is installing a window handler for libvlc to draw the image.

Has anyone experienced this that could give me some feedback?

Thanks.
