Hi friends, I have an application which dynamically creates classes at runtime (in the dex format). Is it possible to load these dex bytes directly without saving them to a dex file, and then zipping it (many such classes are created). An equivalent of ClassLoader.defineClass(className, classDexBytes, 0, classDexBytes.length) is what I'd like. I.e. a DexClassLoader that doesn't have to reference a physical file, but can be passed byte arrays instead.
If I try just extending ClassLoader is get a java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: can't load this type of class file despite the byte[] definitely being in dex format (it starts with 'd' 'e' 'x' bytes). The trace for this is: W/System.err( 362): java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: can't load this type of class file W/System.err( 362): at java.lang.VMClassLoader.defineClass(Native Method) W/System.err( 362): at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(ClassLoader.java:338) W/System.err( 362): at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(ClassLoader.java:301) Thank you very much for your help, Tomasz -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
