GStreamer android and hardware acceleration

Hi,

I've ported a GStreamer based application to a native android app.
The port is working fine so far, but I'm not able to use hardware
accelerated video decoding with GStreamer 1.0.

* Already tried to compile with Android API > 16 for media codec support
* Already tried to link in gst-omx, but I don't know, if the
configuration is correct.

So, is there some tutorial on how to make use of hardware support that I
did not find so far?

I'm using gstreamer from
http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/pkg/android/1.2.4.1/
and my test application is
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~slomo/gst-sdk-tutorials/tree/gst-sdk/tutorials/android-tutorial-5 with a 1080p mp4 file.
Also tried to link in http://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-omx/

My main target currently is a rk3188 based SOC, but preferably a
portable solution would be appreciated.
