Hi All,
I have a jar that consists of a class that extends Activity and performs some activity on onCreate. I want to import this jar into my Android app and start the activity.
How can I go about this?
Thanks George

A:
Step #1: Put the JAR in your project's libs/ directory.
Step #2: If you are using Eclipse, add this JAR to your build path

Ok. After that, can I just create an Intent object and supply the package name and class name, and then call the startActivity?

you also have to add the Activity to your mannifest file.

I got this working. I put the JAR in the assets folder, and didnt have to set the build path. Thanks a lot!

i had the same problem as mentioned above and with your tip i got i working. thanks.
but unfortunately, all resource files can't be found while loading the activity from the jar file. at the first occurence of loading a res file there is a ResourceNotFoundException:
04-30 11:18:46.944: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(1749): Caused by: android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Resource ID #0x7f040006
any hints for that?

Don't think you can use resources from the jar, infact, you want to pack only your source code in the jar. In my case, I had a resource file that contained the layout, so I just chose to create the layout programatically instead of using the XML.
