How to add third-party jar files into my android application jar file?

Question

I have an Adobe AIR application for Android. Using for this AIR 3.0 and Flash Builder 4.6. I need to make MyANEFile.ane - which must include 2 external .jar files: Flurry.ja

Answer 1

Suppose your main extension jar file is extension.jar and you are using code in external.jar. Then you can put the classes from external.jar into extension.jar using the Java jar tool:

jar -xf external.jar

This will extract the .class files into package folders. If the top-level package is "com", then you can add those to extension.jar with:

jar -uf extension.jar com

(Repeat the second command for each top-level package in the external jar.)

I was having issue with creating an Android ANE for AdMobs and this is what worked for me.

Do like Flynn suggested and add the jar in the Java Build Path:

Then, the only way I could get the AdMobs jar to play nice in the ANE was to export the Android native jar for the ANE with Export... -> Java -> JAR File and have both "Export all output folders for checked projects" and "Export Java source files and resources" checked:

If you are using Eclipse to develop, right click on the project and go to:

Properties -> Java Build Path -> Libraries -> Add External JARs
