title: Android: How to dynamically load classes from a JAR file?
body: <p>I'm trying to dynamically load a class at runtime on the Android platform. The class is contained within a separate library JAR file, but packaged with the APK (as per the new library mechanism in the SDK). When using Class.forname method, I received a class not found exception. I've seen some discussion around the DexClassLoader method, but I can't find a good example of how it's used (and whether it's the best way to go about it - it seems a lot more complicated than the forname approach!).</p>
  
  <p>I would be very grateful if someone could provide an example snippet of code of how to go about this.</p>
  
  <p>Many thanks for your help.</p>
