I have a need to generate X509v3Certificate on Android device. Since android supports Bouncycastle, I downloaded the latest BC library (1.46) and installed onto Android. I have code already that generates the X509v3 cert. I modified the existing code by explicitly include the BC provider. It works only outside Android. The code creates self-signed certificate that can be viewed via cert standard cert viewer. When I moved the code inside the android activity class, it does not work anymore. First the android dumps so many "ambicuouse classes" message and discovered old classes and block the code message in the catlog. All these message are related to the bouncycastle. Then there are a few messages related to my code, generally, it does not recognize some methods, and static fields....
Since we are supporting our app in Android 2.2 and up, I am testing my code in android 2.2. My requirement is to generate a self-signed cert and then post it via json. I realized that the android 2.2 has bouncycastle 1.35. If anyone has the experience that writes the cert using BC in Android, can you share your experience in terms of BC version you used and whether your code works in other android versions. Thank you very much. QD -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
