NoSuchAlgorithmException with KeyStore.getInstance in android application

Question

I write program in android for communication with server, I use SSL protocol, when I write this code

 KeyStore ks = KeyStore.getInstance( "JKS" );

I get this error

java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException: KeyStore JKS implementation not found

How can I resolve my problem? My Algorithm is JKS.

Android does not support JKS keystore. However you can convert your JKS keystore to BouncyCastle BKS keystore and it will work.

@edit

You will need bcprov-jdk16-145.jar

keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore mytruststore.jks -destkeystore mytruststore.bks -srcstoretype JKS -deststoretype BKS -srcstorepass changeit -deststorepass changeit -provider org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider 

If your bcprov jar is in another directory add -providerpath path.
