如何将外部 jar 文件添加到本机应用程序中，并将其用作 javascript 文件中的插件，用于 android 和 iOS

Question

Actually, I have existing SDKs and I wanted to use that SDK in the react native app.

For android

1. I tried adding the jar file into the libs folder of /android/app/

2. Added dependencies into file /android/app/build.gradle

   implementation fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')

But I did not get how can I use these jar files in my js file. How can I create the object and call the methods?

The main concern is how can I use the external java libraries in my react native app?

You should use native modules them are bridge between JS and native

https://reactnative.dev/docs/native-modules-android

Example

public class DummyModule extends ReactContextBaseJavaModule {
MyDummyClass dummy // this context

public DummyModule(final ReactApplicationContext reactContext){
super(reactContext);
}

@Override
    // getName is required to define the name of the module represented in
    // JavaScript
    public String getName() {
        return "DummyModule";
    }
@ReactMethod
    public void startMyClass() {
       this.dummy = new MyDummyClass();
    }

@ReactMethod
    public void fooActionClass() {
       if(this.dummy != null){
           this.dummy.fooAction();
       }
    }
}

In your javascript code

import { NativeModules } from 'react-native';
const dummyModule = NativeModules.DummyModule;

dummyModule.startMyClass();
// Make sure that u call the action when the class is instanciated.
dummyModule.fooActionClass();
