title: Snappy data compression on Android
body: <p>I want to know if there is any way of using snappy data compression on android. I found a java port of the c/c++ snappy library by <a href="https://www.google.it/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&amp;ion=1&amp;espv=2&amp;ie=UTF-8#q=snappy%20java%20%22" rel="nofollow">xerial</a>, but after adding it to my app and running it I get the error that there are no natives for armv7l.</p>
  
  <p>I found another pure java library by <a href="https://github.com/dain/snappy" rel="nofollow">dain</a>, but it doesn't appear to be working. It just adds a space and the first character of the string to the existing string, without compressing it. For example, <code>HELLO</code> would become <code>HHELLO</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any other way of using snappy on android?</p>
