I think there a 2 ways
1. Go native
 - You need to get Python to run on android (maybe this is already done don't know)
 - Then you need to package python together with mercurial in one ndk (Native Developer Kit) application.

2. Stay in Java
 - Here you have 2 sub option
   A. Run mercurial from a java python engine, there are some discussion about it I think it is called JPyton
   B. Use the new Hg4J, this lib is not feature complete with mercurial yet I think the status currently is read only
access and not everything is possible to do, but this might change over time.
