Constructor Detail

PathClassLoader

public PathClassLoader(String dexPath,
                       ClassLoader parent)

Creates a PathClassLoader that operates on a given list of files and directories. This method is equivalent to calling PathClassLoader(String, String, ClassLoader) with a null value for the second argument (see description there).

Parameters:

dexPath - the list of jar/apk files containing classes and resources, delimited by File.pathSeparator, which defaults to ":" on Android

parent - the parent class loader

PathClassLoader

public PathClassLoader(String dexPath,
                       String libraryPath,
                       ClassLoader parent)

Creates a PathClassLoader that operates on two given lists of files and directories. The entries of the first list should be one of the following:

• JAR/ZIP/APK files, possibly containing a "classes.dex" file as well as arbitrary resources.
• Raw ".dex" files (not inside a zip file).

The entries of the second list should be directories containing native library files.

Parameters:

dexPath - the list of jar/apk files containing classes and resources, delimited by File.pathSeparator, which defaults to ":" on Android

libraryPath - the list of directories containing native libraries, delimited by File.pathSeparator; may be null

parent - the parent class loader
