How include external .jar libraries to extensions?

[Uriel Albarran Oropeza]

I'm creating an extension just to know how they're build, and have this question: How I can Include external SDKs on my extensions? many on them tell you to download a .jar file and include it on your libs folder (This is just for Android Studio) and add the lines: import com.sdksite.company.package so I really don't know what to do with that, any help from the masters on Extensions?

see the App Inventor Extensions document chapter 3.2.3 and follow the link mentioned there

Thanks that works, but I'm still stuck with the import com.domain.package part because If I include those lines give me an error it say "package does not exist", I'm trying to create an extension for this: http://docs.superrewards.com/docs/getting-started-android

I have plans on create some Extensions for monetize apps and give the .aix for free on the forums, this because I don't find any extensions like this and looks like can be really useful for everyone.

Can you list the actual imports that don't work?
It is possible that their SDK depends on something like the android
support libraries that are not included in the master branch (I
think). I seem to recall the support libraries are part of the ucr
branch?

cheers,
José

According with me I have error importing this:

import com.playerize.superrewards.SuperRewards;

import com.playerize.superrewards.SRUserPoints;

I add to my 3 build.xml files:

appinventor/build.xml:  <pathelement location="lib/superRewards/SuperRewards-3.1b.jar" />

appinventor/buildserver/build.xml:  <copy toFile="${classes.files.dir}/sprRewards.jar" file="${lib.dir}/superRewards/SuperRewards-3.1b.jar" />

appinventor/components/build.xml: <pathelement location="${lib.dir}/superRewards/SuperRewards-3.1b.jar" />

Also I add this to my java Extension:

import com.google.appinventor.components.annotations.UsesLibraries;

import com.google.appinventor.components.annotations.UsesPermissions;

After that:

@UsesPermissions(permissionNames =

    "android.permission.INTERNET," +

    "android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE," +

    "android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE")

@SimpleObject(external = true)

@UsesLibraries(libraries = "sprRewards.jar")

Also I upload the .jar file to:

appinventor/lib/superRewards/SuperRewards-3.1b.jar

If I don't include the lines:

import com.playerize.superrewards.SuperRewards;

import com.playerize.superrewards.SRUserPoints;

I build the extension without problems, also I'm not so sure how I'm going to invoke the offer wall XD.

Like I say I'm new on this and I'm experimenting, but is really complicated find tutorials or help to resolve my doubts.

[Jose Dominguez]

I can't recall which one, but one of the build files needs the jar
added twice; check that one out and let us know if you can get it to
work.

cheers,
José

appinventor/components/build.xml: <pathelement location="${lib.dir}/superRewards/SuperRewards-3.1b.jar" />

 you must add this line 2 times in the same file search for tweet and guide you in the 2 places you should put it

[Andres Cotes]

the extension you want to build will only work in a built apk, or you must compile the extension and create your own companion you must follow the read barcode passages to be able to create that extension

[Uriel Albarran Oropeza]

That solve the import issue, thanks. I forgot to add that line to /build.xml: ai.apt macro definition

I have this: but I think i'm wrong:

remplace Mainactivity.this for currentActivity:

currentActivity.getResources();
