Public constructors

BaseDexClassLoader

Added in API level 14

BaseDexClassLoader (String dexPath, 
                File optimizedDirectory, 
                String librarySearchPath, 
                ClassLoader parent)

Constructs an instance.

Parameters
`dexPath`	`String`: the list of jar/apk files containing classes and resources, delimited by `File.pathSeparator`, which defaults to `":"` on Android
`optimizedDirectory`	`File`: directory where optimized dex files should be written; may be `null`
`librarySearchPath`	`String`: the list of directories containing native libraries, delimited by `File.pathSeparator`; may be `null`
`parent`	`ClassLoader`: the parent class loader

Public methods

findLibrary

Added in API level 1

String findLibrary (String name)

Returns the absolute path name of a native library. The VM invokes this method to locate the native libraries that belong to classes loaded with this class loader. If this method returns null, the VM searches the library along the path specified as the "java.library.path" property.

Parameters
`name`	`String`: The library name

Returns
`String`	The absolute path of the native library

toString

Added in API level 1

String toString ()

Returns a string representation of the object. In general, the toString method returns a string that "textually represents" this object. The result should be a concise but informative representation that is easy for a person to read. It is recommended that all subclasses override this method.

The toString method for class Object returns a string consisting of the name of the class of which the object is an instance, the at-sign character `@', and the unsigned hexadecimal representation of the hash code of the object. In other words, this method returns a string equal to the value of:

 getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())

Returns
`String`	a string representation of the object.

Protected methods

findClass

Added in API level 1

Class<?> findClass (String name)

Finds the class with the specified binary name. This method should be overridden by class loader implementations that follow the delegation model for loading classes, and will be invoked by the loadClass method after checking the parent class loader for the requested class. The default implementation throws a ClassNotFoundException.

Parameters
`name`	`String`: The binary name of the class

Returns
`Class<?>`	The resulting `Class` object

Throws
`ClassNotFoundException`

findResource

Added in API level 1

URL findResource (String name)

Finds the resource with the given name. Class loader implementations should override this method to specify where to find resources.

Parameters
`name`	`String`: The resource name

Returns
`URL`	A `URL` object for reading the resource, or `null` if the resource could not be found

findResources

Added in API level 1

Enumeration<URL> findResources (String name)

Returns an enumeration of URL objects representing all the resources with the given name. Class loader implementations should override this method to specify where to load resources from.

Parameters
`name`	`String`: The resource name

Returns
`Enumeration<URL>`	An enumeration of `URL` objects for the resources

getPackage

Added in API level 1

Package getPackage (String name)

Returns package information for the given package. Unfortunately, instances of this class don't really have this information, and as a non-secure ClassLoader, it isn't even required to, according to the spec. Yet, we want to provide it, in order to make all those hopeful callers of myClass.getPackage().getName() happy. Thus we construct a Package object the first time it is being requested and fill most of the fields with dummy values. The Package object is then put into the ClassLoader's package cache, so we see the same one next time. We don't create Package objects for null arguments or for the default package.

There is a limited chance that we end up with multiple Package objects representing the same package: It can happen when when a package is scattered across different JAR files which were loaded by different ClassLoader instances. This is rather unlikely, and given that this whole thing is more or less a workaround, probably not worth the effort to address.

Parameters
`name`	`String`: the name of the class

Returns
`Package`	the package information for the class, or `null` if there is no package information available for it
