1. They would have to be Dalvik bytecode (e.g., dex files), not JAR files. 2. Running dex files downloaded dynamically from hither or yon, such as the SD card, is just *begging* for somebody to hack your app by replacing your dex file with theirs.
So, I believe it is technically possible, but I would not recommend it unless you're willing to do a lot to ensure you're running the downloaded code that you think you're running. There may be a better solution to whatever problem you think you are solving this way.
