Well you can dynamically load a jar file from your SD card using DexLoader class...which you can update when ever you want..on your storage... below is working code..

  final String libPath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() +     "/test.jar";
    final File tmpDir = getDir("dex", 0);

    final DexClassLoader classloader = new DexClassLoader(libPath, tmpDir.getAbsolutePath(), null, this.getClass().getClassLoader());
    final Class<Object> classToLoad = (Class<Object>) classloader.loadClass("com.test.android.MainActivity");

    final Object myInstance  = classToLoad.newInstance();
    final Method doSomething = classToLoad.getMethod("doSomething");



    doSomething.invoke(myInstance);

and in your library file code can be like this

public class MainActivity {



public void doSomething() {

Log.e(MainActivity .class.getName(), "MainActivity : doSomething() called.");
}}

tell me if you need any assistance
