Invoking an activity from Android Library(.jar)?

I have created an Android Library Project which contains several Activities. I want to reuse these activities in other projects. How can I do this? I have added the project vi:

project->Android->Add(Android Library Project.)

Then added the required details to Android Manifest file.

Android Manifest file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        package="org.testlib.com"
        android:versionCode="1"
        android:versionName="1.0" >

    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="9" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
    <uses-libraryandroid:name="org.mainlib.com" android:required="true"/>
    <application android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher" 
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <activity android:name=".TestLibActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />    
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
        <activity android:name="org.mainlib.com.MainActivity"/>                 
    </application>    
</manifest>

Code to start activity:

Intent myintent=new Intent(v.getContext(),MainActivity.class);
startActivityForResult(myintent, 0);

How can I invoke an activity from my jar file?

If you've created an android library and added it correctly (seems like it). Then the only thing you do is the same thing you'd do with a regular activity. The only difference being you import a path from your library project instead of your own project.

On a side note you don't need to add the library in your manifest. You only need add the library project through the project properties.

I don't understand your question. Do you mean

How to start 'TestLibActivity' from outside the Library

?

If that's the case, you can call it by calling Intent myintent=new Intent(v.getContext(),org.testlib.com.TestLibActivity.class); startActivityForResult(myintent, 0);

Of course you have to add the right import in your activity and add the library to your project.
