Hey Mark, good points as always -

I noticed the owners of the PeerDroid project did manage to compile the J2ME-CDC version of JXTA-JXME under the Android platform. However, what was curious there is that they also included external jars in their compilations (bcprov-1.4 etc.) that I am also try to include - I will see if I can find how they got away with that. But before I can get to the bottom of this one my first issue is what you are describing below ... > Step #1: Put the JAR in libs/ I did > Step #2: If using Eclipse, add it to your build path I did > Step #3: Code to the JAR's API and build your APK I did Even for the case of the jars that are Android-friendly they don't get included in the apk. The libs dir is either in the src dir or the top level dir. Once I move it in the assets dir I can see it being wrapped inside the apk. So before attempt to compile the code from above I will see if I can figure this one out. Thanks for the pointers though - they will help -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group. NEW!
