Yes--you need to use the NDK in order to use Tesseract Android Tools. There are some instructions for getting started here:
http://rmtheis.wordpress.com/2011/08/06/using-tesseract-tools-for-android-to-create-a-basic-ocr-app/ In a few weeks, once I get the code cleaned up, I'll be releasing the source code for my OCR Test app to Github. I also plan on open sourcing my fork of tesseract-android-tools that provides a couple additional Tesseract functions through JNI. The code for my app is a bit complicated, though, so I think the above instructions are a good starting point.
