Yes

No, that's not the supported way of using GStreamer on Android. You can
get dynamic libraries and gst-inspect if you build things yourself
though, but you're on your own then and it's generally more tricky to
set up properly than using GStreamer like in the tutorials.

Also hardware decoding does not work unless you run GStreamer from a
real Android app.

You can find the tutorials ported to 1.x here:
