Symbolic Link Creation in Android Within an Application's Asset Directory

Question

I can't seem to find a solid answer for this specific question.

I'm trying to create a symbolic link programmatically of a directory in my assets folder in another location within the same application's asset directory. Essentially, I'm looking to do the same thing as what the createSymbolicLink method of Java.nio.Files would do.

Is there an available way of doing this with the Android SDK? If not, is it possible in the NDK?

For Android API 21 and above, just use:

Os.symlink(originalFilePath,symLinkFilePath);
