Android classloader for optimized dex (odex) files

Question

I am attempting to find a class loader that works for optimized dex files (odex files). I looked through all the android documentation and found the following class loaders.

• DexClassLoader https://developer.android.com/reference/dalvik/system/DexClassLoader.html

• PathClassLoader https://developer.android.com/reference/dalvik/system/PathClassLoader.html

• UrlClassLoader https://developer.android.com/reference/java/net/URLClassLoader.html

They all seem to work for either APKs or JAR files (or APKs that contain classes.dex files), but none seem to work for odex files :(

I have an optimized dex file that I would like to load into my app but I am struggling to find a way to load the file. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks!
