Android Market Place has a place for Software Libraries. If someone would
distribute the Scala Libraries as Android Software Library in the Market Place,
then application developers can use the shared Scala-Library when distribution
Android applications/games without the need to distribute scala-library with
every application. Could someone publish Scala Libraries to Android Market Place
so we all can share.

Thanks,
Benjamin

Re: Scala Libraries to Android Market Place as Software Librar

I'm not sure this is already working? I think you mean to install the
scala-library.jar in the same way as the google maps view is
installed, so it would appear when calling
PackageManager.getSystemSharedLibrary. (and would be accessible via
the -tag in the manifest) My latest knowledge is, that
it is right now not possible to distribute such shared libraries. (I'd
guess there are some security issues that are not yet resolved).

Has someone figured out how to install shared libraries manually, it
would be viable at least for developers to make the scala-library
available in this way.
