As a follow up, I may have gotten the two to work together, or I may not have.. I am not sure...
So, I got Android to call the AIM class (called AIM_Connect), but when it does, I get this error: An error has occurred in com.straightforwardcode.AndrAIM. java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError. So there is some exception when running: AIM_Connect connection1 = new AIM_Connect ("username", "password"); Is there any way for me to get more information on the specific reason? or might this be the java vs android problem I asked about above?
