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

Here is what I used to solve the problem :

LOCAL_PREBUILT_STATIC_JAVA_LIBRARIES := path_to_jar_file.jar
include $(BUILD_MULTI_PREBUILT)

This should be added in Android.mk after include $(BUILD_PACKAGE)

You also need to specify the library name in LOCAL_STATIC_JAVA_LIBRARIES for compilation.
