Using Java SDK in Android app

53 views Asked by At

So the app I'm building has to use a specific library. Unfortunately this library uses bouncycastle in it. As is known this will not work with Android. Are there any ways to get around this? I was suggested to build a service layer to interact with the library SDK but I have no idea where to begin or what that really is.

If the library comes in a packed .jar file you can import it to your Android project by right clicking on the project > Properties > Java Build Path > Libraries tab and pressing the Add external JAR button

This is valid for Eclipse, there way to do it on Android Studio might be different.
