It appears that it is not possible to access resources stored on the classpath within a 3rd party jar file from Android. Many 3rd party jars store data and configuration files within the jar itself. I'm surprised this doesn't work as it will prevent many 3rd party libraries from working without major overhauls. For instance, code like the following doesn't work:
URL data = this.getClass().getResource(name); I've read from other posts that the following doesn't work too: Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(resource); I understand that jars get converted into dex files? When this happens, are only class files retained? What happens to the resources? Is there a way to access those resources? Luckily, I have source for the jar file I need to use. Unfortunately, it uses data resources all over the place, and probably 50% of the classes will need to be modified. I'd much rather figure out a way to access those resources without modifying all the code. If this can't be solved, then any 3rd party jars that don't provide source code could not be used in Android until the developer provides an Android version of the jar. Is this just the way things work with Android, or is there a workaround others have found? Thanks!
