integrate EMF generated java classes into an Android project

I would like to know if I can include a set of classes generated from an EMF (ecore) model into an Android project.

I am trying to do this, it compiles fine, but in run-time I get errors like the following ones:

06-07 11:37:04.261: INFO/dalvikvm(649): Failed resolving Lorg/mmi/events/Event; interface 318 'Lorg/eclipse/emf/ecore/EObject;'
06-07 11:37:04.261: WARN/dalvikvm(649): Link of class 'Lorg/mmi/events/Event;' failed
06-07 11:37:04.261: WARN/dalvikvm(649): VFY: unable to find class referenced in signature (Lorg/mmi/events/Event;)

and like this:

Thanks for your help!!!

Solution

  • At the end I solved this problem using a modified version of the classes compounding the EMF core packages. You can find these classes here:

    forum thread: http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/emf-dev/msg01001.html project homepage and repository: http://code.google.com/p/smatrt/source/browse/#svn%2Ftrunk%2Ftmp%2Forg%253Fstate%253Dclosed

    I needed also the XML classes included in the javax.xml.* package. I removed the corresponding comments, added the javax.xml jar file and now everything compiles in Android.

    Hope it can be helpful for you in the future. Cheers!
