Hi, I am developing an android application(api level 8) now.I would like to know about where is the actual jar(not the 'android.jar' api jar included in the project) file contains the execution body, ie the implementation jar file of 'android.jar'. I search a lot through the android sdk installation directory but no such jar file found. Is any jar file exist for this purpose? if not then how the android virtual device execute the source code?
Thanks.

I think you what to know where is the execution file of your applcation?

It is called application pakage file and will be available with extension .apk.

Search for this in the bin folder

No. the 'android.jar' is an api jar file (contains full of abstract class and interfaces ie it contains no execution body), then where is the body of execution.For example we call textview.setText("") then where is the actual body of setText("")

On android the resultant .jar is the .apk this however isn't really the same as the .jar it's a dalvik package.

You might want to look at dex2jar[^] which I've used myself to pull apart .apk

also Dalvik_(software)[^] gives an in site into the file format and other information.

Hope it helps
