This has been discussed before - here are some tips:

Android is a Java-based platform running on a Linux kernel underneath.
You would need to use JNI or something. That is why some people have
suggested a re-write in pure Java... not realizing that Tesseract
represents hundreds of man-years of coding and sweat. :-)
