Yes, the classes are very much tailored for Android, and even if we made it more generic, the JNI implementation on android is not 100% compatible with the desktop version, so it might be best to call them QAndroidJniXxx.
There is also some private APIs in core that uses the same naming scheme, can we keep them as-is for now?
