APK that needs another apk to function
<p>I am implementing a kind of location provider that I would like to distribute as an apk. If someone implements an application that uses the classes of my apk it is necessary that my apk is installed on the device first. My "location provider" offers an API that can be used by other programmers (it has no UI). </p>

<p>I wonder if it is even possible to do something like this. Normally I would use a jar but it is easier to distribute as a apk. </p>

<p>Is it possible to include an apk in for example Eclipse so that other programmers can use my API for their applications? I tried it but did not get it to work but I am also not an expert in Eclipse. </p>

<p>Hope someone has done something like that already and can give me a hint.</p>

<p>Thanks,
Benjamin</p>
