Because it is not there. Android supports a subset of JavaSE. > Or I guess a better question is why was a lib that is so > vital to so many other libs left out of android? AWT, on the whole, is useless to Android, because it is mostly dealing with its own heavyweight widgets. Some individual AWT classes might be useful, but AWT in toto is not. > I have managed to get the JAI source code (stripped version) to > compile but the second I reference it I end up with > java.awt.image.RenderedImage not being able to be found.

Next, you can solve this problem yourself: 1. Get the JAI source code. 2. Replace all "import java.awt.image.RenderedImage;" statements with "import this.is.my.own.package.RenderedImage;" statements, substituting in some likely package name for this.is.my.own.package. Do not use the java.* or javax.* namespaces for this. 3. Get the source code for java.awt.image.RenderedImage from Apache Harmony. 4. Modify that source file to reside in the package you chose for step #3 and put the modified file in the corresponding spot in your source tree. 5. Try building. Repeat steps 2-4 for any other dependencies. 6. Try using the application. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 2.0 Available! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
