I’m currently working on a client-server app for android and I’m wondering if it is ok to use the Android.jar library for the server component of my application. Does anyone understand the legalities and technicalities surrounding this?

the Android.jar is full of empty methods that throw Stub exceptions when you try to run off device. If you’re doing this for unit tests or just something to build against then you can use something like mockito to either suppress the implementations or mock the return data. Since you are using the jar and not modifying the source, you shouldn’t have any problems legally.
