Sure... if you design it well, and distribute your jar to the app developers that need it, it will work fine :).
But, to be honest... dealing directly with a server isn't much different or tougher than dealing with a service :), but then again if your API is well designed the app developer should just have to call a function or two, and that is easier.

Hi, Our company provides services to customers just like google maps do. Now we have a requirement to develop and distribute API to our mobile app customers. Rather that directly hitting our servers and getting results, we want to distribute a set of APIs to hide the complexities of server communication. One solution was to make a android service and let their android app use it. Please note that we are not developing android app on our own. Our service will do network communication internally and give the results. Is ther any other way of achieving the above task. Can i make a jar and distribute it but does andorid modules can be distributed as jar? Thanks sam
