Re: [android-developers] How to link Android project to another project within Eclipse
Thanks Mark with your help I managed to get it running with an exported/imported jar. Works like a charm!

Re: [android-developers] How to link Android project to another project within Eclipse
Thanks Mark, this info (and the posts Jason sent) are very useful. Originally I considered sending XML strings and building the objects on each end...however that still left me with the some issues: 1. Building an XML parser on each platform (unless I can link my android project to my already built java one somehow...doubtful) 2. Managing object classes in multiple locations I think I will pursue this now though. Now I know this is a dumb question but I'll ask anyways...but how do I put my object class into a separate JAR file? I'm assuming there's no mechanism in Eclipse for this, I need to use ant?

Re: [android-developers] How to link Android project to another project within Eclipse
Maybe I should clarify what I'm trying to do here in case I'm going about it wrong... I have a standard java server listening for connections from "clients"...in this case a client could be a straight java web client OR a android device client. Because of this I have two separate projects (one for the java client, one for the android client). Clients use sockets to pass java objects back and forth with the server...I want to be sending the SAME object to the server regardless of which client it comes from. So I built an object class and attempted to link both client projects to it. The java client works fine, but I can't figure out how to make the android client work with the object. If I take that class and put it in the android project then the android client works...but the server then doesn't know what the object is and it dies. Maybe I shouldn't be sending objects in the first place? On Thursday, May 3, 2012 8:47:41 AM UTC-6, Ryan Groten wrote: > > Thanks for the response Jason.

Re: [android-developers] How to link Android project to another project within Eclipse
Thanks for the response Jason. Before I tried manual linking I did add the "Libraries" project from the Java Build Path -> Project tab. After doing that the class imports properly and there are no errors when building my working project. However when running the working project (and trying to call the "Library" class) I get a runtime exception: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.example.common.DataBean On Thursday, May 3, 2012 1:23:11 AM UTC-6, JTeagle wrote: > > >From Eclipse I created a link to the .class file of the other project > into > >the bin/classes/... > >folder in the android project.

Re: [android-developers] How to link Android project to another project within Eclipse
From Eclipse I created a link to the .class file of the other project into the bin/classes/... folder in the android project. Then I configured the other project in the java build path of my Android project. You shouldn't need to do any manual linking. Assuming the shareable class is in a project of its own (for example, called 'Libraries') and both that project and your working project that needs to use the class are open in the same workspace, if you go to the Java Build Path and the Projects tab, then click Add, it should list your other project - check the Libraries project and that should be it. In fact, on the Windows version of Eclipse at least, if I simply refer to the shared class in my project then Eclipse usually offers 'Fix project setup' as an option for Red Wavy Line resolution - and it seems to know the Libraries project is the right project to include. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
