Hello everyone,
meanwhile I can answer the thread concerning reflection on classes in
other packages myself.
The approach with Context.createPackageContext("packagename")
eventually was successful - What was missing is to set the appropriate
permissions:
-------- Code snippet --------
//ask for the code of the foreign context to be included and to ignore
any security given by the cross-process(owner) execution
//in working-environment to error checking ...
Context tmpCtxt = createPackageContext("com.google.android.notepad",
Context.CONTEXT_INCLUDE_CODE + Context.CONTEXT_IGNORE_SECURITY);
Class<?> c =
tmpCtxt.getClassLoader().loadClass("the.name.of.a.package.already.deployed.on.the.device");
//do normal Java-Reflection things with c
-------- Code snippet --------
