Adding a external jar reference in Android.mk

Question

I want to add a external third party jar file in the inbuilt android app.

I\'ve added the LOCAL_CLASSPATH variable in Android.mk due to which the compilation goes fine.

Answer 1

An example is more than just talking.

...

LOCAL_STATIC_JAVA_LIBRARIES := libmylibs

LOCAL_PACKAGE_NAME := myapp

...

include $(BUILD_PACKAGE)

##################################################
include $(CLEAR_VARS)

LOCAL_PREBUILT_STATIC_JAVA_LIBRARIES := libmylibs:mylib.jar

include $(BUILD_MULTI_PREBUILT)

Note: put the "mylib.jar" at the project root.
