I want to include 6 libraries in Android native code, they are of .a extension

I also want to know the difference between .a and .so libraries, and if there is any dependency on the operating system being running ???

    These are almost certainly not compatible with android and will at minimum need to be recompiled from source with an android-compatible toolchain. – Chris Stratton Jan 25 '13 at 13:11

The difference between *.a and *.so libraries is that *.a is a static library while *.so is a dynamic one (shared objects). In the case of an archive library *.a the full precompiled source should be there so all you need to do is add

LOCAL_STATIC_LIBRARIES := yourlib

in your Android.mk. See here for more details.
