Apps MuPDF Library Trouble

After going through a lot of trouble (and pain) to get the mupdf library files (StaticLibrary : libmupdfthirdparty.a, SharedLibrary : libmupdf.so) I was prepared to begin using it to browse pdf files. At this stage I only need to display a specific pages from a pdf file.

Some info on the net suggest that I should go through a lot of steps (see answer #7 on Integrate MuPDF Reader in an app).

But these steps seem to be such a cumbersome and fruitless way to go about incorporating a library or third party software into a project. It just seems so dumb.

Are these steps really necessary?

Furthermore, there is so little info on the usage of the library itself... There is a simple example in C code in the mupdf project with a function render(...). This is a good example; but I do not know how to access it in Android code.

I need to be able to use the functions in the mupdf library in a simple manner; initially to display a specific page of a pdf file

How can I use this library/ where do I find info on its usage?

Thank you.
