Trying to port Apache POI to Android

by

Well I was able to do most of what I was asking for here. That is importing the jar files. I had at least 2 kinds of problems:
– not enough RAM on Eclipse which made dexing my classes crash most of the time (fixed by adjusting the Xmx and xms values in Eclipse.ini)
– the 64k method limit for each DEX file made things complicated. I had to split all the required POI jars into several DEX files. (I did that by following the tutorial from the Android blog: http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2011/07/custom-class-loading-in-dalvik.html )

The real answer to my question is: “yes you need everything in the jar”. I made it work for the basic “non open xml” files. My app does the conversion to html quite well, and it’s fast enough too.

On a side note, I was also trying to do the same thing with “open XML” files, and it’s much more complicated. My little project doesn’t do what it’s supposed to do, I’ve got some weird exception when initializing the XMLBeans class. Here’s my trace (sorry for the ugliness):
