[android-developers] android browser plug-ins support

How is the situation with the Android browser plug-ins?

- Can we develop the browser plug-in?
- Are there any limitations of what the plug-in can do?
- Can it be developed in C or Java only?

I swa here (https://www.codeaurora.org/git/projects/qrd-gb-dsds-7225/
repository/revisions/cc99b832a941dc8cbb86f1607d04eb87935ddbfd/entry/
android/development/samples/BrowserPlugin/README
):

> plugin is intended to give plugin developers a point of reference to
> see how an android browser plugin is created and how to use the available APIs.
> A plugin is packaged like a standard apk and can be installed either via the
> market or adb.

But I did not found anything on the official developer.android.com
pages as well as any plug-ins and on Android Market...

I am not 100% sure how it should work, but my expectation is that when
browser loads an
HTML page that contains the new MIME Type in <Object> tag, then
Android brower should
and create instance of associated my browser plug-in.

In the Android web browser settings is an option to enable/disable
plug-ins...
