That is for modifying the firmware. If you are looking to create a reusable component for Android SDK applications, that is not what you want. > Once the JAR is created, how do I link an application with it? For building from Ant, you drop the JAR in the libs/ directory of the project. For building from Eclipse, you drop the JAR in the libs/ directory of the project, then do whatever it is you normally do in Eclipse to tell it about another JAR to link to. > How do I > make sure it has access to the code during run time?
