> wrapping every API with Javascript sounds non-trivial.

I am not an expert in JS or the Android API, but I wonder if you couldn't do it automatically? If types line up closely enough, I would think that you could get a list of Android APIs (pull it from AOSP if you have to) and mechanically translate to a JS API.

If Android's JVM supports reflection, you could do it dynamically at runtime, and there are probably already JS+JVM integrations that would work.

Apache Cordova exposes APIs to JS.

Actually, ionic team recently released their native api solution as a library [0]. I think it might fit right in.

Drozer does (did?) this, except with Python rather than JS. https://github.com/FSecureLABS/drozer
