Hi, To add a 3rd party .jar to Android I followed Android suggested practice(1) by adding the .jar as a Library [not as an Android Library under Eclipse (2)], but am being told this may induce byte code incompatibilities?
Can I safely use a .jar compiled with a JDK in Android? I think I can but am told by a fellow developer: "This is wrong. One missing method (even if it is one of many overloads of a single method name) that is present in the JDK but not in Android, and you've got byte code that is only compatible with the JDK, but not with Android. Using an Android SDK is the only safe (and the easiest) way of getting byte code that runs under Android without any surprises. No way, of doing the same using only a JDK." If this is true, where can I file a bug against your documentation.
