C++ Builder: Include JAR files

Question

I'm developping a Mobile Application using C++ Builder 10.1 Berlin Enterprise. The goal of the application is to scan barcodes, I use a Android PDA with a Barcode Scanner. The functions relative to the scanner are contained in a JAR file.

How can I use these functions in my project?

EDIT

I already add the Jar to my Project but I don't know what I have to include to use scanning functions.

EDIT 2

I created a Bridge File with Java2OP. According to the Embarcadero Documentation I have to translate it manually to C++ but I don't understand Delphi. Here is the code:

unit Android.JNI.ATLib;

interface

uses
  Androidapi.JNIBridge,
  Androidapi.JNI.JavaTypes;

type
// ===== Forward declarations =====

  JATLib = interface;//com.atid.lib.ATLib

// ===== Interface declarations =====

  JATLibClass = interface(JObjectClass)
    ['{E264906A-B076-4960-9EAE-17DF2D2AEE74}']
    {class} function _GetINTERNAL_PATH: JString;
    {class} procedure _SetINTERNAL_PATH(Value: JString);
    {class} property INTERNAL_PATH: JString read _GetINTERNAL_PATH write _SetINTERNAL_PATH;
  end;

  [JavaSignature('com/atid/lib/ATLib')]
  JATLib = interface(JObject)
    ['{EFCFE579-FB94-432F-8DBB-851521F1EED7}']
  end;
  TJATLib = class(TJavaGenericImport<JATLibClass, JATLib>) end;

implementation

procedure RegisterTypes;
begin
  TRegTypes.RegisterType('Android.JNI.ATLib.JATLib', TypeInfo(Android.JNI.ATLib.JATLib));
end;

initialization
  RegisterTypes;
end.

Can you give me some advices to translate it to C++?

I also tried to include the pas file but when I compiled the project I have this error:

Compiler for "Delphi.Personality" and the platform "Android" is missing or unavailable.

EDIT 3

I succeeded to translate my bridge files to C++ thanks to this post. I tried to use the function in my application like this:

TJATScanLib* scan = new TJATScanLib();
_di_JATScanLib scanner = scan->JavaClass->init();

There is no problem during the compilation but at the link step I have these errors:

Answer 1

This topic is covered in Embarcadero's documentation:

Using a Custom Set of Java Libraries In Your RAD Studio Android Apps

RAD Studio allows you to use your own or third-party Java libraries in RAD Studio applications.

To use a custom set of libraries in your RAD Studio Android applications:

1. Ensure that your Java libraries meet the RAD Studio requirements for Java libraries.

2. Create a native bridge file that your Delphi or C++ applications can use to access the APIs of your Java libraries.

3. Add your Java libraries to your application.

What you are missing in your project is step #2. You can use Embarcadero's Java2OP tool to generate that bridge file.

Answer 2

You can simply use the project manager to do it.

1. In the Project Manager, extend the Target Platforms node of your project.
2. Within the Target Platforms node, extend the Android node. Right-click the Libraries node and select Add.
3. In the dialog box that opens, select the .jar file that you want to add to your application for Android, and select Open.
