You should consider using the MIDP protobuf code, which is what is used by
various Google apps:

http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/external/protobuf.git;a=tree;f=src/com/google/common/io/protocol;h=44814a7cc40a99cf6a866e219793976de8f283a7;hb=HEAD

This is much more appropriate for Android.

(Note this this is not part of the platform, so you will want to link it
into your app in a different namespace.)
