How best to use as library in Android (Kotlin/Java)?

[AltNico]

Hey there!

I'm currently wondering how I could best make use of this wonderful library on Android, or rather, calling the library's functions from Java and Kotlin.

I already successfully cross-compiled the mdtest binary for aarch64 and executed it as part of an Android application, piping a pair-phone +xxxx command into its input and reading out the resulting linking code. By this I could confirm that whatsmeow also works natively under Android, as I could see messages sent to the linked WhatsApp account in the Android application's log files.

Reading articles like Calling Go Functions from Other Languages and others gives me the impression that maybe writing a wrapper application in Go would be the way to go which would expose a C-native interface which I could then call from Android/Kotlin.

What do more experienced Go developers think about this? Should I drop this idea and directly use WuzAPI?

Thanks for your help!
