android.jar (in Eclipse) update after making modification to Android framework?

I modified Android framework, and added my own service into. Now I want to use new methods and service.

However, when I opened Eclipse to do application-level app development that calls my new methods and service, Eclipse cannot resolve them.

What should I do at this moment? Thank you,

Solution

  • You should compile it with these commands (in bash):

    $ . build/envsetup.sh
$ lunch sdk-eng
$ make sdk

    This process may take a little more than an hour.
    If you need the Windows SDK use:

    $ . build/envsetup.sh
$ lunch sdk-eng
$ make win_sdk

    Now you will have to point Eclipse to the new SDK located at:

    out/host/platform/sdk/android-sdk_eng.username_platform-x86/

    Or something similiar.
