I’m new to Android development and I wonder if I can use some Java packages (for instance javax.xml.bind, org.springframework or org.jooq) on Android platform despite the fact they are not listed on packages list of Android API. Is it possible when I simply import them as external JARs? At this moment I don’t care if they are big, just if they can work on Android.
Thanks for help.
It Depends.
Android is built on a subset of Java 1.6. If the library uses references to classes that Android doesn’t have, I believe the ADT plugin will give you an error about system level libraries WON’T work on Android. Something to that effect.
