Hi Fadden, My question was not: why can't I use 2 classes loaded with different class loaders. My question has to do with the way Android implements the dynamical class loading thing. It won't let you load a class using this.getClass().getClassLoader() as the "parent" parameter in the DexClassLoader(String dexPath, String dexOutputDir, String libPath, ClassLoader parent) constructor. Instead you have to use MyClass.getSystemClassLoader() as the "parent" parameter. Why is that? Why can't I load the class using the classloader which loaded all my classes up until then?
