HTTP Live Streaming on Android 2.x, is NDK the only way to go

I am working on an app that needs to render video streaming using the HTTP Live Streaming protocol. From what I read it is only supported on Android 3.0(Does 2.3 support it too?). My question is for 2.1 and 2.2 phones, are there any other ways than developing a library using NDK? Has anyone used the Nexstream SDK? Please pointing out some direction开发者_Python百科s, be NDK or available 3rd party SDK.

Thanks Ray

To answer my own question, there 3rd party libraries. Akamai's library is fairly good.
