The answer to question 1 is "yes".

The way I did it is to compile csi for Android. Then start a csi
process and pipe S-expressions back and forth to my JVM app written in
Kawa Scheme.  csi is on native side and Kawa is on JVM side and they
talk to each other. I used csi for data processing and Kawa for UI.

Lollipop and later require PIE support.
To compile csi for Android, you add "-fPIE" to CFLAGS.

For question 2, I don't remember jni working well for me. However, from here:

http://wiki.call-cc.org/embedding

It says to try:

CHICKEN_run(CHICKEN_default_toplevel);

instead of:

CHICKEN_run(C_toplevel);

That might be the problem.
