Referencing android.jar in eclipse

Question

My requirement is to reference a modified android.jar into an android project. The new android.jar has some platform specific changes. When I tried to reference it as external jar, I'm getting the following error:

Conversion to Dalvik format failed with error 1

How can I use the new android.jar in my project?

I think you are referring two same jar files. Or two jar files having same classes in your application. — user370305, Jul 23 '12 at 11:46
I added the jar file in libs folder and gave that path as referenced library..that worked! thanks — user1545703, Jul 23 '12 at 12:06
do you also update the sdk classes on the emulator or the device? the android.jar is only there to make eclipse happy, and it won't go into emulator/device automatically — dacongy, Jul 23 '12 at 20:08

Add your android.jar file into your "libs" folder of your project and then right click on that file and select the "build path" option then select the "add to build path"
