Create Jar file for android project

I want to create a jar file from one android project for another android project.I want select only certain classes not all classes from project.I tried eclipse-export way to create a jar.Jar file is created and it also contains all selected class files,after adding the created jar file to the main android project it gives the error:“java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError”.Is the eclipse-export way is not valid to create jar for android project?

I also tried steps provided by this blog http://www.olivacorner.com/2011/04/create-an-android-jar-library-with-eclipse/comment-page-1/#comment-343,but not able to create a desired jar file.

Can anybody please provide the steps to create a jar file for android project.

Thanks.

Step 1. Create Android library project as explained here.(Same as suggested by Lukas)

Step 2. Now you need to give reference of Android Library project created in step 1 to your client application. There are two ways to do so.

  • Give reference of Android Library Project itself by client app property -> Select 'Android' on left pane -> In Libraty Section, Add Android Libraty project (This is explained at link given in Step 1 above)
  • Give the reference of .jar file of Android Library project (from Location of Android Library project -> bin -> .jar file). Client Application -> Properties -> Click 'Java Build Path' in lefe pane -> Go to 'Libraries' Tab -> Click 'Add External JARs' button and select the .jar file -> Go to 'Order and Export' tab and select the added .jar file reference and move it to top.

Hope this will help you.

So you want to create a library for Android? In this case, you can create a Library-project and then reference to it in the main-project.

See the docs.
