Go Up to Using a Custom Set of Java Libraries In Your RAD Studio Android Apps


Using the Projects Window is the simplest approach to add your Java libraries to your application. This approach should work for most people. If you need to modify or remove built-in RAD Studio Java libraries for Android, see Creating and Deploying a classes.dex File Manually.

To add a Java library file (.jar) to your Android application

  1. In the Project Manager, extend the Target Platforms node of your project. Within the Target Platforms node, extend the Android node.
  2. Right-click the Libraries node and select Add.

Now the Project Manager displays your custom Java library under the Libraries node.
