Question

I want to develop an application that will use mathematical programming to solve lp problems ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_optimization ) . I used for several years lp solve in c# and even in java…I was wondering if there are some libraries developed specifically for android that will help me to do that.
Does anybody know some good and possibly free library?

Thanks,

Andrea

Answer 1

If you used jar libraries in Java they should also work in Android development. Add them to a project as you would do in a Java project. A brief explanation below.

Best way to add External Jars to your Android Project or any Java project is:

• Create a folder call ‘libs’ into you project root folder

• Copy your Jar files to the lib folder

• Now right click on the Jar file and Build Path > Add to Build Path, this will create a folder called ‘Refrenced Library’ into you project, and your are done

Now whenever you transfer you project, you will not have dependencies issues.

Also you can refer to this answer for a good math optimization library which can be used with Java or Android: Linear Algebra Library For Android
