Hi,
I am wondering if there is a way to get to build a .jar file for deploying on phones from .apk file, once the program has been Build/Compiled for Android platform?

I am looking to deploy my program in .Jar format, so what can I change to build a JAR file instead of an APK?

Tried Dex2Jar, but the was not signed and packed properly, (missing META-INF folder) so used Jar utility to build back the file and signed with Jarsigner and now installs but gives a message "failed to verify", i notice it only contains .class files no media subdirectory, and contains 3 folder( com, org & META-INF). Anyone familiar with JAD/JAR executables and how to build them from GLBasic?

Thanks Mr, I figured it out in theory, waiting to get my hands on an old pc to try it out... as i don't want to mess my current config and build for .apk. The file, build.xml, instead of building for .apk can build a .jar file using apache ant. Will post the results here, :good: once I have it working....
