CorePlayer for Android is currently in development; today company posted this screenshot showing playback of H.264 video. You can follow their progress on twitter and this forum thread.

Development was delayed due to lack of functions in old versions of Android NDK, and CoreCodec explained why they need it:

In the end we want CorePlayer to be 100% NDK/SDK compliant for two reasons:

• Consumer downloads that work against any device (Android Store) and for any mobile provider
• OEM expandability. In matching our consumer goal this will easily allow third parties to use CorePlayer as a compliant drop in solution without the need to one off a separate SDK.
