Android.mk: Include 3rd party jars

[a2ronus]

Hi android-platform,

I would like to build my MyApp.apk together with the Android platform.
However, the app uses some external jars (commons-codec-1.3.jar,
netty-3.1.5.GA.jar). I cannot find a way to properly include these. In
Eclipse this works fine, but I need to find a way to include these
jars in the Android.mk file.

I have an src, res and lib folder. (The jar files are in the lib
folder.) I have placed the application files in <root-of-android-
source-tree>/packages/apps/MyApp.

Is there some example Android.mk file that I can use? Do I need to put
the jarfiles someplace else?

Any help would be appreciated.

Kind regards,

a2ronus

see packages/apps/Calculator Android.mk
see how it uses LOCAL_PREBUILT_STATIC_JAVA_LIBRARIES

thanks

Hi allstars,

Thanks a lot! It works now.

For other people that have the same problem: you can find the
Android.mk file from the Calculator app here in the Android source:

http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/packages/apps/Calculator.git;a=blob;f=Android.mk;h=b34c46750bf4c74f8d93a869b919d8fb56a15ab2;hb=HEAD

I've also included most of my Android.mk below.

*** Android.mk ***
LOCAL_PATH:= $(call my-dir)
include $(CLEAR_VARS)

LOCAL_MODULE_TAGS := user

LOCAL_STATIC_JAVA_LIBRARIES := libnetty libcommonscodec

LOCAL_SRC_FILES := $(call all-java-files-under, src)

LOCAL_PACKAGE_NAME := AndroidAppName
LOCAL_CERTIFICATE := platform

include $(BUILD_PACKAGE)

include $(CLEAR_VARS)

LOCAL_PREBUILT_STATIC_JAVA_LIBRARIES := libnetty:lib/
netty-3.1.5.GA.jar libcommonscodec:lib/commons-codec-1.3.jar

include $(BUILD_MULTI_PREBUILT)

I have a similar problem. I have tried this solution (makefile as
below), but it gives me compilation errors because the java compiler
can´t find the classes defined in the jar files.

---------------------------

LOCAL_PATH:= $(call my-dir)
include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_MODULE_TAGS := user

LOCAL_STATIC_JAVA_LIBRARIES += libmyjar

LOCAL_SRC_FILES := $(call all-java-files-under, src)

LOCAL_JNI_SHARED_LIBRARIES := libmylib

LOCAL_PACKAGE_NAME := MyCameraApp
LOCAL_CERTIFICATE := media
include $(BUILD_PACKAGE)

include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_PREBUILT_STATIC_JAVA_LIBRARIES := libmyjar:com.company.jar
include $(BUILD_MULTI_PREBUILT)
------------------------------

If I change
LOCAL_STATIC_JAVA_LIBRARIES += libmyjar
to
LOCAL_JAVA_LIBRARIES += com.company.jar
it compiles, but the jar is not included in the apk.

Any suggestions what might be wrong?

Thanks
David

Hi David,

I'm not an Android build system expert, but the only main difference I
can see is that instead of := you use +=. I don't know if different
operators work differently in the Android build system?

Furthermore, what command do you use to build the app? I use something
like: mmm /packages/apps/AndroidAppName (after .build/envsetup.sh and
the lunch command).

Ciao, a2ronus

That might be the problem then, I used "make MyCameraApp" rather than
"mmm <path to mycameraapp>".
I´ll try that. If it doesn´t work, I´ve made a workaround by editing
the app so it can be build from windows.

Thanks!
